[QUOTE="RockinRobin, post: 1227101, member: 50986"] I can understand package handler turnover. If you are PT, you start at $8.50 an hour. Not great compared to, say. Lowes. You have to pay your Union Initiation Dues in your first four paychecks. Roughly $38 a paycheck. You have to buy Steel Toed Shoes or Boots. If you are smart, you are going to buy something comfortable. Roughly $45. $25 if you go cheap but your feet will pay for it. So first paycheck at roughly 18 hours X $8.50 = $153 Less FICA and various other taxes approx = ($53) Less Union Dues = ($38) -------------- Net Paycheck after first grueling week average= $62 Less Gas To and from Work AVERAGE National= ($20) Less Steel Toe Workboots (on the cheap) = ($25) ----------------- First WeekSpendable Income after all expenses = $17 You have to be in VERY GOOD SHAPE not to be super sore or so tired at the end of the shift you can't walk to your car. Especially if you are a loader and have power-loaded for a few hours that night. Would you do this for less than $1.00 an hour spendable income for your first hard week? And you wonder why there is high turnover. [/QUOTE]
