[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5114567, member: 49065"] It was not meant to be a slam on our younger 22.4’s, they are the ones who are making a commitment to a career. My criticism is directed toward our younger part time members who for the most part are not involved with the Union and will likely be gone within a year. Their Retention rates and Absenteeism only adds more problems and additional stress to the full timers that show up on time and plan on staying for the duration. These excessive hours will take their toll eventually thru early disability and forced retirement, we have a driver in our building who has to work over 55 hours and brags about what he cleared during the week. Over the last couple years I observed him walking with a limp, each year it is getting worst, he only has less than 20 full time years in, he will not make it to 30. I believe that the entry level for full timers off the street is somewhere at 21 an hour...somebody on this site recently posted a photo where McDonald’s was offering their new hires 20 an hour, probably on the West Coast. It is correct that if you can get in and stay this job does pay better that most US companies, it would be comparable to professional sports you are selling your physical strength in a very tight window of endurance, that is why all of us need a decent retirement package with the ability to retire at any age with 25 years.
