[QUOTE="Boku41, post: 2886071, member: 12312"] Worked for UPS for 20, 17 driving. Due to family circumstances I quit. 8 years later due to family circumstances I am back loading. 30 years ago, made $9/hr preloading, with benefits after 30 days. Now making $11 with no benefits for a year. All of the raises have gone to full-time drivers, not to preloaders. Now, in our building, the average new worker quits after 2 days. 2 months ago there were 15 new hires and only 3 remain. 1 is on his way out and the other 2 are shaky. UPS is now paying minimum in our state since it was raised by law last November. Why would anyone work for UPS? We had 8 supervisors unloading today because they can't find anyone to work here. I would not either except for benefits and needing only 4 years for full retirement. So part of the bad loads is because the union has given the drivers all the raises and said screw the new guys. I understand why they have done that, but there are consequences. We have had 5 part-time sups on our belt since November. 2 that had no loading experience. 1 was very good but they sent him to Colorado to drive for Christmas and then sent him go a different belt when he got back. One has quit 3 times but they bring him back every so often. He lasted 3 weeks this time. The other was fired, then brought back, and then quit his second day back. It is a bad situation and it is only getting worse with Saturday ground. [/QUOTE]
