[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 3318149, member: 67494"] TBH, our benefits are changing and I'm looking for a FT or PT job and keep UPS. Job security. My president even drops in once in awhile and gives a darn. Talks to all of us if we wanna talk. It's nice he's fighting for the higher pay in our building and attending to all the grievancea. By next month literally everyone around us will be making 15, as we are "fully staffed". We need more routes and new drivers and better PTers. I just got an email from a large company in my trade who snagged my Indeed and LinkedIn. The starting pay for this physically demanding with overloaded troubleshooting and more work; is 10.50/he to the 13 to 15 an hour you can get standing around at Michael's or Target or everywhere else even the gas stations. I've sent all my job materials to local cashier jobs. If they're gonna pay me 15 to stand around and run a till, why the fucj would anyone want UPS? $4.50 less pay than for unload. If they want six days a week and can't open new routes or run timely air, it's the preloaders who end up paying for their fkcj-ups inevitably. Faster, unsafely, varying start times, SmartScan, cuts. Load fifty 30# boxes organized for your driver; oh no sorry move them across the building into a bricked out car. Did you guys see the article of UPS failing peak? Some of them are pretty damning. I bet you at 15 an hour no preloader would be calling out. Pay outside people more and the inside people spite them because they're bent over. I once asked a passing-by district manager why they don't use us for loading then helping or PVD. His answer? It'd be unsafe. UPS suddenly cares of safety when it comes to the razor thin profits on the large amount of scabs. I can tell you definitively that almost everyone worked slower and safer than I've ever seen. The 18 year old can move the 5 refrigerators off the 50 piece cut. They could pay us 15 and cross train us and double shift us or get outside greenhorns, pay more retain more perform better and that is how you make money, no? I've had jobs that double shifted 8-12 hours or gone to another job. How is that different for an inside PTer double shifting? Midnight to noon, noon to six, eight, ten. That's not impossible.
