Oh boy, Amazon is going to steal all our help.

[Two Tokes]

Amazon raises minimum wage to $15 for U.S. employees

We are Screwed
Already to hard to find good help

How "nice" does a belt have to be to carry a package from here to there? The equipment is fine.

Our belts in our state of the art facility are always breaking.

I overheard a shop steward saying corporate will never budge on the $15/hr min. wage because they argue that a $15/hr min. wage for a part-time job is just that- a part-time job. It's not meant to be livable.

$15/hr for 20 - 25 hrs a week isn't exactly a living wage. You could just squeak by, in most places except the really expensive cities, if you were making $15/hr for 40 hrs.

I thought you didn't even work at UPS anymore. You trolling son?!

Nope, still here and probably will be until I drop dead. Although you might confuse my lovely avatar with @sailfish

Amazon's hourly workers lose monthly bonuses and stock awards as minimum wage increases

Maybe this year we’ll have the option of not having a helper.

Jumpers are overpaid as it is. We need to remind them daily that they are worthless trash. Pound that in their heads. Minimum wage for them.

Some places at ups are starting at 15..... including a weekly bonus.... many on the west coast...

Lol. Classic boomerism. "You're not meant to have a fair wage. Uhhh because we said so. *rolls around in massive cash heap*"
Teamsters are a ing joke btw.

I don’t agree with you..... HOFFA is the joke

 

[Coldworld]

Calm down Latisha you’re just a grunt

Any relation to Moesha...aka @Gumby ???

UPS will offer 200.00 a week bonus for x mas hires.

You should hear the bonus amount they are giving to seasonal feeder drivers....

A quick google search found one for $600, they must think with the driver shortage it will be cheaper to do the runs in house.

They keep running feeder schools in my building and we lost runs. Makes no sense to us common folk.

Wait til they make 22.4 feeder positions. Pull a load to the airport, park it, unload it, then run some EAM stops, bobtail back to the center, work day sort.....

They could make you do that now, correct? I know there is language for me somewhere saying we have to work as directed while on the yard or something like that. It mentions loading and unloading specifically, I think.

Of course we are already 24/7 so that wouldn't matter as compared to the package car 22.4 working only certain days if this goes through.

Aren’t those drivers contracted with another company?

Nope, the job is listed in UPSjobs.com and mentions the bonus in the first sentence.

You hear the bonus these guys will be getting on top of the hourly rate???

And they think ppl are gonna jump at the chance for 22.4 lol


Seeing PVD postings also. Glad the union is worried about protecting package car jobs.
