[QUOTE="konsole, post: 570287, member: 23965"] so your logic is that everyone had to go through it so its ok for future employees to go through it also? Just because you had to go through it doesnt mean there wasnt something wrong with it. I can agree that drivers should be making considerably more then part timers do since the requirments for there job are higher and they have higher expectations in general. I do not think its unrealistic for part timers to be making roughly half of what the drivers do. Right now the drivers make 3 times what the part timers do. Now do you honestly think that your job is 3 times harder then the job of the average grunt working in the warehouse? In a given 4 hour span do you think you work 3 times harder then the guy who loaded your truck? Don't you see how the company can't pay the part timers more partly because of the much higher paid drivers? I'm not saying that the drivers get paid too much, what I am saying is that there is an extreme imbalance between the 2 wages. You would have to be very selfish to not take a 4% pay cut so that the grunts in the warehouse (that load your truck for that matter) can get a 12% pay increase. What do you care though, as long as your pay keeps going up who cares that the stagnant low wages of part timers will stay the same and attract less and less quality workers in turn providing you with a less and less quality load and less and less quality work day. pay the part timers 12% more and see if the load quality of your truck and the happiness of your work days increases by anything less then 4%. If your financial life changes significantly when going from $24 to $23 then you need to seriously reconsider the financial choices you have made and are making. [/QUOTE]
