[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 216347"] you've just echoed the words of many many new hires that come here and learn the fact. If you aren't in it for the long haul, meaning for advancement, either FT hourly or management...its really not worth it. However if you don't want FT here its still worth it if you: A need health benefits or B need help to pay for school. I fall into A and B so that is why I am here. I know I made it sound pretty horrible, but to be honest thats the cold hard truth of PT at UPS. We are paid the minimum the contract allows and they want us to give our max...its amusing. The benefits are very generous, but the wage...is definitely not. To put this in perspective Towely. I have been here 2.5+ years. If I were a driver for 2.5 years I'd be making $27-$28+/hr right now. I am making 11/hr...doesn't seem right does it? I'm not saying the drivers are overpaid (not at all) or that we deserve those kind of wages. Am I saying we're underpaid? You bet. Considering anyone in the industry pays more and are starting to offer more and more of the same benes we do. Even our drivers agree we are underpaid. During peak (sat the 23rd) one of them even said finally you guys are making what you are worth. He was under the assumption we were getting time and a half (we weren't). However don't look for the contract to improve things for us, the union doesn't care about PTimers which is amazing to me seeing as many of the FTimers I know do (or say they do). [/QUOTE]
