[QUOTE="noazrk, post: 3672429, member: 22243"] I've been with UPS 11 years and no I don't have a DUI, I did Saturday driving for a while, while I did ok it's just not something I want to do. I readily admit drivers have a harder job than inside workers and they should make more than us (not sure if it should be $15 vs. $40 an hour though). But really? Should we HAVE to be drivers to make $20+ an hour? Even after a DECADE of seniority? Think about that, a driver shoots up to top pay in 5 years, making over $35. Even though I'm a certified Responder, Acceptance Auditor and Sorter I'm still 2 raises away from 20 bucks! Inside friend.T. jobs are scarce esp. with just Twilight and Preload shifts, even with my seniority I'm probably 5 years out. I feel blessed to get friend.T. hours as a Part-timer and I'm not greedy, I just think when UPS raises up the starting wage SO drastically HOW can they leave us the same??? Last contract they went up from $8.50 to $10 and I didn't say :censored:. This is FOUR dollars closer to me in ONE day....for unskilled loaders no less. Don't get me wrong, they deserve to make $14 an hour. Young people were quitting left and right at $10 an hour meaning more work for us....too much work for us. I also agree that it doesn't affect me as much as the UPSers with 3-4 years seniority, they've been here through a few peak seasons and now they don't even get .25 over a new hire? Doesn't make sense to me. I've worked non-union jobs where everyone senior than me made more than me. [/QUOTE]
