Part time poverty

In many places UPS offers tuition assistance

Yes, I am arranging it where I am.

I'm sure they can live without your respect if they get $15/hr.

If they get 15 drivers need the same raise percentage wise.

Good job. Hopefully you have a community college nearby.

I do. Trying to choose my major very carefully. I have friends with expensive degrees who can't find work in their field, and are still working at Starbucks plus paying back outrageous loans.

You got to find something in a field that's hiring.

Edd gets it !!!!

Part time minimum wage jobs are meant for high school kids, college students between classes, and supplemental income for adults.
They are not meant to live off of on its own. They are reserved for unskilled positions that anyone can do.

The problem that has arose is an influx of adults who CHOSE not to go to college or learn a trade and now can't keep up with the times.
Some has arose from pure laziness while others have come about from life situations (raising children,spouse dependency,work skill that has become obsolete)

UPS has taken a page from McDonalds and Walmart.
McDonalds has turned to building order kiosks that has eliminated part time jobs.
Walmart has increased use of the self checkout lines to eliminate part time jobs.
UPS is building automated centers around the country to try and cut their part time force in half.

The minimum wage will increase but the jobs won't !!!!!

No. Minimum wage was established by the federal government in 1938 to stabilize the post depression economy to ensure that anyone who works full time, at any skill level can feasibly survive. Look it up.

Yes, and a skill that will continue to be in demand as things continue to become increasingly automated.

Go to tech school and learn a trade, welding, plumbing, electrical...

Roosevelt was a Crippled Pinko Commie

Sure, and you seem to be an elitist Nazi. Whatever

Lots of people waste money on useless degrees amd are strapped with student debt when the graduate

Keep believing it's 1938

It might as well be... That is the fact of why there came to be a minimum wage. People of all skill levels still need and deserve to survive. This concept of minimum wage jobs being for high school kids is a fairly new myth.

Part timers don't deserve 15.

So it is a moot point

Minimum wage isn't really designed for someone to live on. It's designed for not having people working for sweat shop wages like they do in third world counties.

PT loading and unloading seem to be in high demand right now. At least at my building. Union jobs deserve Union wages, not minimum wages.

A Nazi?
Typical Millennial can't form a coherent and intelligent response without ad hominem attacks.

According to @Hannah-banana she says Roosevelt meant it to be a living wage.
She says I am a Nazi so......anything she says is meaningless and Millennial Whining

Maybe the PTers shouldn't be in the Union.

Not making third world sweat shop wages should be somewhat livable wages. Especially with three jobs.

Maybe the PTers shouldn't be in the Union.

Okie dokie

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Yep PTers shouldn't be in the Union
