[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 3562136, member: 5053"] Note that I didn't say you were one of them. I'll be a lifetime part-timer by choice after starting in '05. But it's a simple fact that PT hourly work at UPS used to be sufficient by itself for young guys and now it's not. When the $8.50 rate was introduced in the 80's, it was the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $18/hr now or so. We could get a "raise" to $18/hr right now, and it would only put us even with the very senior folks when they started. But they'd yell about entitlement and what not, when it's exactly what they got themselves. [/QUOTE]
