[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3967003, member: 24302"] No, SS is settled law that companies have to deal with. Lowering corporate taxes gave them more to work with. There are people who honestly think companies exist to provide them with a good paying job but the harsh reality is companies are motivated by profit. When conditions allow them to keep more of what they make then the employees who help them make it are suddenly worth more. If they don't pay better employees jump ship. Might not be as big an issue in a union shop like UPS, but say a warehouse worker making $14hr after 7 years hears that Amazon is now starting employees at $15hr. What do you think he's going to do? UPS just raised handler pay in Lenexa, KS to $13hr plus gives an attendance bonus. Think they would have done that if Amazon kept starting pay at $12? [/QUOTE]
