Part Timers Don’t deserve $25

[DriveInDriveOut]

I make $40/hr working PT and that was after a 90 day progression.

No one cares.

You have no idea what you are talking about. I am sure that won't stop you.

your employer is paying a VALUE for your work (denominated in X currency), so yes absolutely the VALUE should stay the same regardless of how hyperinflated your government makes that currency

I love how you try to compare 1980's pay to today.
It was a trained skilled position back then, now a lab monkey could do a passable job.



Hub and preload work have been so dumbed down, you don't even have to look at the shipping labels anymore.


If you don't like your pay, LEAVE !!!!

To be fair, Delivering for Dummies (Orion 2.0) with turn by turn navigation has dumbed down the driver job as well. KId's today would give you the "Huh?" look if you asked them what Area Knowledge was.

Just gonna be honest here, it’s a part time job for a reason. Why should they make equal pay? If you want to make more money, then why are you doing a part time job? Also, is it really that hard to load and unload trailers? It’s basically grunt work, and you should make accordingly. 21 is more than good enough for what they do

Can’t really disagree. I’m more concerned about the opportunity to go full time than what the rate is for pt I’m surprised a lot of others don’t feel the same

 

[TheDudeAbides92]

keeping pace with inflation, it should be $31/hr technically

your government has been robbing you for so long you don't even know how to assign value to work correctly

It isn’t really a company’s responsibility to make up for inflation caused by the criminal government though. They keep spending money they don’t have and screwing everyone else which at some point has gotta stop

100% agree---except for the "criminal" part.

it's a company's responsibility to pay a value wage for value work, the specific dollar amount is kabuki theater for the cattle

What? It doesn't happen in this world. Everything is Negotiable. Both sides hold out for their benefits as much as possible.

[Cardb0ard.]

Preload is the hardest most demanding job in our building, so there’s that.

It’s not hard.

UPS successfully followed through on that plan after the '97 strike

You just showed how stupidly naive and uninformed you are.
You wouldn't survive reality 30-40 years ago.

Yes, I do. Wage isn't the same as the pricing of a product. But both are subjected to competition pressure. Product price is more so.

Loading bricked out trucks when the flow is being crammed down the belt is very hard.
