[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 697663, member: 24302"] Show me a mid-range employee living in a nice home and I'll show you an employee who's spouse has a good paying job, or has generous parents, or has received a nice inheritance. The average mid-range employee is having to accept alot less. I'm not saying give us UPS wages and benefits. Just top us out faster. If they had been doing that all along they wouldn't have to worry about a union getting voted in. We are second class citizens who's only hope for something better appears to be voting for a union. It shouldn't be this way and should have never have gotten to this point. If the company can't afford $29hr and great benefits and you want to say yes we'd all like more money, etc, fine. But to tell mid-range employees that yes, topped out employees deserve more than you when we are having to work 25+ years to top out and they topped out in as little as 2 years and have enjoyed significantly more pay than us for many years now, well, you are just towing the company line. They deserve every penny they get, but we are doing the same job, often in tougher rts with less vacation. When do we get rewarded for our hard work?
