[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1066825, member: 42759"] Don't confuse resentment or bitterness for passion and intensity. Do you really think the turnover rate would be so high if PTers were paid a decent wage? Some of them aren't cut out for it, true; however there's plenty others who might be great employees but see the ridiculous workload, demands, and hours and say to themselves, "there's no way I'm putting up with this bull[IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] for $8.50" If the wages were actually commensurate for the work required (like it is for drivers) I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you'd have a LOT more people sticking around. [COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR]I'm aware of the issue of turnover and actually I don't mind terribly making us wait a year for benefits -- provided the union gets something back in return. So fine, make it $9/hr during your training period but add a [B]substantial[/B] raise at seniority, seniority + 6 months, [I]or[/I] seniority + 1 year with a reasonable wage progression afterwards. You realize due to inflation someone hired at UPS part time in 2000 was making 30% more than what they are starting out with now, right? Do you remember how much a gallon of gas cost back then? Zero increase in wages over that length of time period is just a shocking level of neglect. [/QUOTE]
