[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1077612, member: 43436"] So you work in a center with the hardest working Preloaders in the UPS system; there's so much demand for these jobs that UPS is able to select the absolute best during the probationary period. Despite that, the job's real extreme and thus you're undercompensated. Honestly, that doesn't make sense... in companies absent a CBA, markets set wages; if there was so much demand at your facility, that would suggest that the CBA has set the starting compensation too high. I'm glad you work in Camelot. I work on a Preload that peaks near 400 PTers each peak season - we have a dedicated FT HR manager whose sole job is to stock-up the two PT sorts. Even though we'll have a number of employees laid off, she won't stop recruiting (visiting high schools, colleges, job fairs, etc.) as they'll be begging for employees come spring. When you're offering only $8.50, it's asinine to insist you're going to attract only those with the hardest work ethics. It's a demanding work environment, yes, and if you can't keep up with the pace, you'll be harassed -- but you won't lose your job. PT terminations are rare. That's not my experience, that's a fact.
