[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1077407, member: 43436"] If PTers earned the current top rate, they'd bank between $33K (averaging 20/hours per week) to $42K (averaging 25/hours per week). Peak season could possibly inflate these numbers, but I'm confident the average PTer averages closer to 20-hours than 25. If you believe that driving is truly worth $32/hour, than I believe that PTers - such as those earning $12/hour after four years - are indeed undercompensated. That said, if UPS and the Teamsters did agree to significantly hike PT wages, you can bet that the Company - moving forward - will expect greater productivity from its workers. Gone will be the soccer moms -- exemplifying the heart of the current PT workforce (those here only for the insurance) -- who are here for 3 hours and limited to SPA, data cap & some clerk work. Gone will be those with attendance issues & performance issues (e.g. misloads) -- and there's quite a few in my center. And even if PT wages matched FT, I don't think many senior FTers would be able to work a situation in which they're asked to consistently unload a pup in less than 40-minutes. [/QUOTE]
