Had a customer ask me once "Don't you make like twenty bucks an hour or something?"
I told him I wouldn't get out of bed for that. Dude almost fell out of the chair.
Right ON track 100k+ this year

A customer has never asked what I make. I do get some commenting generally on how it's a great job to have and that there's not many union jobs like it anymore. They know there's good pay and benefits but I bet they have no idea where we are at hourly. Most would likely be shocked and kinda think we are overpaid.
Probably the same person who asks you if its hot and do you have AC?

I know you don't care but.......that will probably change in 2018.
The same people that barely do anything all day?
I had a customer busting my balls about my 6 weeks vacation, telling me how good I have it.
I said do you want an application? Hell no I don't want your job.

.....and yet there are some BrownCafe members that don't understand why we have the wage and benefits package we do.
They seem to think it would be the same if we were not union.

Yup, usually sitting back in an air conditioned office surfing the Web on company time...

I have been advocating for a change for the past 5 years. It should be at least 1,500 hours, preferably 1,800.

Maybe it's just me but why would you advocate to make it harder for a member to get a pension credit?

"Yup, like 20 years ago. Then we went on strike".
During the strike our local printed our hourly wage for the world to see.
We made front page news on how much we made...of course the numbers were a little fake.

Too many dead days hurts the fund.

If a member works 2076 hours by working 8 a day, or by working 10 hours a day and works 20% less what's the difference.

Pension contributions are made on straight hours only.

I think that changed to include all hours up to 2076 but not more than that.

Interestingly, I've seen job articles (articles like "10 jobs that pay surpringly well") mentioning UPS driver pay recently, and it was still inaccurate. Like it's some kind of secret or something. The info is out there. The articles usual quotes a conservative number coming up $10K-25K short. Not accounting for any overtime on a job that averages about 7+ hrs overtime a week.

I'm on track to get laid about twenty times this year. It's called being married.
