[QUOTE="Juan Esteban, post: 3911001, member: 76234"] I keep reading about the advantages associated with being part of a union, that is debatable, but make no mistake the union is of absolutely no benefit to season driver helpers. In reality, the actions & decisions of the union actually work against the drivers helper. The new hourly compensation for helpers that will go into effect in 2019, $13/hr, is still close to a dollar less than Fed-Ex. In many areas, especially those with heavy snow, helpers would be beneficial until the end of January...but thanks to the union their hours are restricted & their season shortened. Something will have to give soon. The pickings are already very slim and i don't foresee people jumping and paying for the opportunity to be randomly called and asked to bust their butt 2-3 days a week (maybe 20-25hrs) for $13/hr when they could work as many hours as they can handle, making $19.50 (w/benefits), at an Amazon distribution center. In my area Macy's was starting people at $18.75 for the first 40hrs then time and a half ($28.75) + $5.00 for every additional hour. Things better chamge. Losing seasonal help would cripple UPS [/QUOTE]
