[QUOTE="Motown, post: 1281966, member: 50012"] UPS guy here and I happen to agree with you Migrant that what we do is unskilled labor.You don't need a degree or some special class to drive.You just have to have a great work ethic and common sense.Now I'm not a rah rah Union guy,I think they get in the way of common sense sometimes just to prove a point but what they do do is hold a corporation accountable to its employees.UPS would never pay us the wages and healthcare and scheduled pay raises out of the goodness of their heart.I feel if I help make UPS a multi billion dollar company I should get a wage that fairly compensates me for it. The story You tell about a fellow drivers security to me is sham security.What happens when management cuts back his hours.Will he be able to afford the house and cars he has.I've seen it here.A friend of mine part time had a good thing going for a while until management stopped it.Lucky for him his wife had a great job and made good money but unless the driver in your story has a similar situation with his wife making great money somewhere down the line he can find himself in the same situation.I wonder if he would feel secure then.
