ummm with the unemployment rate approaching 10%, any job you can get you prolly shouldn't complain... I'm sure there are a bunch of auto workers getting laid off hoping they can find a minimum wage job now to keep their family afloat. I guess the best advice I can give you, and probably the majority of the people on here (though I don't speak for them) would be, if you don't like it, its your choice to work here, you can leave.

Too bad the greedy full-timers are not willing to give up a little to help their part-time brothers.

Perhaps I'm one of the few drivers that thinks 30$ an hour for this job is absurd. I'd gladly give my raise to the PTers in the next contract.
Minimum wage in my state is 8.60$ or something.

I cant believe UPS even has a part time work force. I started on the preload in 1989 at 8.00 an hour. I got my benefits 30 days later. The minimum wage then was probably at 4.00 or a little less. Today, 20 years later, the part timers start at 8.50 which is just cents above minimum wage. And their benefits don't come for at least 6 months might even be a year. The company doesnt deserve the part time people it has that are working for peanuts. They also should be ashamed of themselves for not having kept up with 20 years of inflation.
But the greedy management teams could offer up a paycut and help out the part time people. Sounds fair enough to me.

The porter in my hub told me when he got hired on in 85 he started at $9 an hr which was 3x what minimum wage was then. I started at $8.50 last yr how is it that I am making less than he did 20 yrs ago for the same job. I UPS had kept the wage scale up then pt would be making $18-20 an hr. I just don't understand why they used to pay that but the union let them get away with keeping the rate the same for 25 yrs.

Clearly, since inside part timers work 3 times as hard as full timers, they should receive $90 dollars an hour. Now that's a no brainer.Too bad the greedy full-timers are not willing to give up a little to help their part-time brothers.

hahahaha, perhaps you would work a lot less "hard" if you were working 8+ hours everyday, or showed up half the time!
