[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 530865, member: 4653"] Milkman, I'm sorry to call you on this. I totally disagree with your analogy comparing UPS to prison. I mean no offense, but you are totally off-base with this. I will make my case as nicely as possible. Its fun to say we are at UPS for life without parole. Many people think UPS is run like a prison. It might be in one small aspect. That is we must follow the rules and they are strictly disiplined. It ends here though. Drivers get almost $30/hour with no education required. We recieve health insurance with no "out of pocket expense". We recieve overtime when most American blue-collar workers are struggling to get 40 hours/week. We have a 401k plan with diverse investment options. We have a pension fund. We have the option of buying UPS stock at a great discount. Most importantly, we have union protection and are EMPLOYED to a company that has been in business since 1907! If I were in prison, working at UPS would sound like heaven to me. UPS, a prison? Its not even close because you are free to leave at any time. In prison, you must share a 8x12 cell with a criminal stranger. You and he must use the toilet in front of each other. You are confined to this cell most of the day. You only get visitors 3 days a week if they are willing to come see you and you must talk to them behind a glass. You must shower in front of scores of people. Rape is a treat everyday. The food is terrible. Shall I continue? Bottom line is UPS cannot be compared to prison. If you do, you have no clue! [/QUOTE]
