[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4700047, member: 60252"] According to you you are making a living off the hard work of others who are NOT making a good living. That is what happened with share croppers were were left with nearly identical conditions as they faced in slavery, without the sanctioned brutality, but allowing them to leave if they didn't like it. That is immoral in my book. My morals didn't allow me that option, and my drivers kept what they earned minus about $10 a day that I earned as 'manager, as well as continuing to drive at least 4 days per week. That is part of the reason I was soooooo willing to walk away despite the threats from management who were trying to force me into terms that actually violated the contract, as in servicing the primary service area of another contractor who was failing to service it himself. We all know that it is still impossible for an ISP to provide drivers with a decent middle class compensation package that allows them the dignity to support themselves, let alone a family. You make the excuse that being a delivery driver is just an entry level job, to make yourself feel better. Decades and decades of American history had delivery drivers as respectable long term careers, but you are willing to be a pawn to fedex to make a buck for yourself while those working for you qualify for government assistance to live, making you a contributor to the decline of America and add to the growth of those needing a handout to make it. Companies need to be required to pay enough that workers can afford food, housing, transportation to work, and medical care to remain healthy, which you do not do. You are causing everyone's taxes to be higher so you can profit from the labor that taxpayers are actually paying to provide. [/QUOTE]
