[QUOTE="TheBrownGuy, post: 1128753"] True, we do make substantially more than the median full time worker ($46k)...$67K excluding overtime. However, I think we can all agree that the job of a UPS driver is also substantially more demanding than the average job. And having put in my time as a part timer, they certainly have one of the most demanding part time jobs in the USA. Some things to ponder: -OSHA receives more complaints from workers at UPS than from any other company -UPS has an occupational injury rate 3 times that of the transportation industry -UPS drivers rank in the top 9% of most stressed adults in the nation -According to the National Academy of Science: The national injury rate is 8 injuries per 100 employees, or 8:100 UPS’s injury rate is 15:100 employees I am not going to maintain that we have the most stressful job in the nation, however the combination of harassment, hard physical labor, time pressure on the job as well as excessive forced overtime certainly merits our pay. UPS certainly is in a position to continue paying average raises. I am not certain how I will vote on this contract until I see more specific details. I started this thread so that we would at least have an idea of what we are voting for vs. what others are receiving. So far what I see is a less than average pay in increase (to the tune of $13,000 for me, even more for the 12 hr a day guys) and potentially much worse health insurance. [/QUOTE]
