[QUOTE="goetface, post: 874012, member: 35375"] I got to agree 100% with this post, and how you are feeling man. We are seriously under paid, REGARDLESS if we get full medical or not, its still UNDERPAID. The medical should be there REGARDLESS given the physical nature of this job, and the amount of strain and stress your body is put under, coupled with the risk of lifetime disability. Starting off employees at 8.50 an hour is a no brainer as to why employee retention sucks, along with a long wait to 1 year to get medical, people just take off and would rather be UNEMPLOYED then under go these conditions. Take into consideration we use our cars (maintenance, gas) our cloths (which get ripped and destroyed), our bodies (which are not replacable), and expect that 100-150 a week is going to help us get by ? Even for a college student, as they always like to promote this job for such individuals, its a JOKE. So how can such a company as big as ups afford to do better for us? well let me tell you for those of you who didn't watch the news last week, or in the last few years. Corporate profits have steadily risen for years, add the fact that while job creation has declined or remain neutral the last 8 quarters, corporate profits have only rise sharply the last 8 quarters. Together as a whole in the united states, productions is up all around, meanwhile pay has not risen to positively reflect those increases in efficiency by employees. U.S. employees work longer, and harder then any western country, we get no benefits, low pay, minimal to no vacations etc, meanwhile the SOB's in these corporations just tunnel us harder. I can't say what would be a better wage right off the bat, but I can also agree with the fact that the problem is with these individuals who are in the union as p/t'ers. These individuals are afraid to speak up, speak out, and stand up to their sups, and the company, these individuals are much younger then me in their early 20's and are in long enough to pay the union $200 dollars then quit when they are burned out in 3-4 months. It's time people start growing a pair and start rolling up oursleeves and demanding better from UPS, especially since their profits have been doing just fine, desipite even fixing equipment such as rollers, water fountains, bathrooms, extendos, etc. IM SICK OF IT!
