[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1075863, member: 43436"] After one year, most P/T UPS employees earn $10.50/hour & have full no-cost health insurance. After one year, most P/T Home Dept, Walmart, etc. (similarly skilled employees) earn $7.50 (or local minimum wage, which ever is higher). After 10 years, most P/T UPS employees are banking close to $20/hour & have full no-cost health insurance as well as retirement benefits. After 10 years, most P/T Home Depot, Walmart, etc. employees are barely breaking $10/hour with no benefits -- other than the ability to work 40-hours/hour as "part-time" perhaps. So please don't tell me the union does nothing for its PT employees, because that's B.S. Reality check: companies that pay premium wages for low/no skilled employees (Costco, Whole Foods, etc.) have the leverage to pick and choose employees it wants to keep. Many (most?) Walmart employees would never "make it" as a Costco employee. If UPS paid premium wages & was therefore offered that leverage (during the probationary period), many of the PTers working today would've been cut. Instead, they're earning decent wages. [/QUOTE]
