[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1066915, member: 42554"] I think that would present another problem with creating a larger class of people who just want to stay part time and not ever move to full time. Movement goes in spurts at UPS, not a constant flow, so if the part time pay is too high the Company might have to turn to off-the-street hires. I would like to see it rise a little, but not enough that I think would satisfy you. I see too many people that have broken the $20 threshold staying part time and just stayed put. I put up with the same BS for $8 so it doesn't seem like an hurdle to me. [COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] What would you consider substantial? 10%? 20%? 30%?
