[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3661992, member: 49065"] I am sick and tired of hearing about how much money we get paid..We earned every dollar and pay dearly with the physical and mental demands of working in that environment. What is the use to work 30 or 40 years and end up so busted up that your will not be able to enjoy the rest of your retirement, that my friend is what you are looking at for your future. Look how these professional athletics are getting paid..Why..Because they sell there bodies at a young age, their longevity is barely 15 years. The same principle applies to anybody who has worked the kind of work that is demanded at UPS. To sell anybody short on the Retirement and Health and Welfare reward is criminal and that is happening to most of us in this Union. Your references should be doctors, executives and MIT graduates who been at their jobs for over 20 years, do we make as much as them. It is what the market is willing to pay, your salary or wages on how well you do your job and being in the right place at the right time. Are you comparing also the current executives on the UPS Board with lawyers, accountants and public teaching, guess who probably has the most educational training, study their degrees and get back with me. Your statement about wage comparisons is a cope out to justify people to go with the flow and be content on their piece of the crumbs. Also it is old adage from back in the day applied by management to suppress the rank and file (hence: the fat, overweight, uneducated truck driver stereotyping).. [/QUOTE]
