[QUOTE="Been In Brown Too Long, post: 3720201, member: 32249"] When I started in '87 minimum wage was $3.35. I started part time pre-load UPS at $8.35/hr and was at $9.35/hr after 30 days. Almost 3 times minimum wage, with full health care after your thirty days probation for both you and your family. That's why we stayed! Add to that, that I thought my generation of part timer was getting screwed, we were working alongside part timers that remained from the late 70's and early 80's who were getting driver wages as part timers. Our 3x the minimum was a reduction from previous wages! There is little incentive to keep part timers now. Only the dangle of the RPCD carrot that seems to be getting farther and farther away too. How far we have come, IN THE WRONG DIRECTION! [/QUOTE]
