[QUOTE="Satuirus2000, post: 3569371, member: 48065"] Geez. I never realized there was this much disdain of PT workers from FT. You'd think giving PTs a starting wage of $15 was the worse thing in the history of the world with the way some are carrying on. The company will be just fine if they do so. Besides, I fell like all this talk is kinda pointless. Does it matter if people think millennials are lazy, lack a work ethic, don't deserve $15 an hour for a PT gig etc etc.? The reality is that UPS can't keep any PT to do the job. People at McDonalds or other PT jobs and what not may say they need $15 a hour and you all may think they don't deserve it, but last I checked they're not having problems filling those positions. Despite the dissatisfaction with pay, fast food joints, Targets, Walmarts etc aren't having staffing issues like UPS as far as I am aware, so UPS is in a unique position in comparison to its competition. Telling UPS PTs to suck it up and appreciate what they have or whatever isn't the answer and it's obvious that hasn't worked. I don't know if $15 an hour is gonna make a real change, but UPS has gotta do something else besides twiddling their thumbs and saying what they're offering currently is good enough, cause if it were, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now.
