[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3197744, member: 58386"] Take a look at the job boards and you will see hundreds of Ground and Amazon contractors begging for people. The problem is they don't pay enough and that's only for a few weeks at that. It would appear that some of the "investor class" contractors who have bought in recently are in for the shock of their lives. I think what may be happening is that Ground as a company began to suspect that the extra money they were giving contractors that was intended to enable them to compete successfully for seasonal help was instead going down contractors pockets. That may be true in numerous cases but the simple fact remains. People are simply no longer willing to come in and kill themselves for 3 or 4 weeks with nothing to look forward to beyond a few weeks of modest wages along with an employer and company mindset that say's " we don't care about how you're supposed to live for the next 48 weeks but be sure to come back this time next year". Yea right. The entire nation lives from paycheck to paycheck and as an employer if you don't have one for that guy at the end of every week, he's going to go where he get find one. [/QUOTE]
