[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1123893, member: 5053"] [COLOR=#000000] You got paid more on your first day on the job than a current 4-year employee who is getting the extra $1.00 in skill pay. Let that sink in - someone with four years at UPS, and skill pay, isn't getting what you received when you were being taught how a stop-button works. You started at a 50% higher rate than the guy who starts today, and got benefits in a small fraction of the time. It's neither stupid nor ignorant to believe that those facts matter. It's great that things used to be different. But they were demonstrably different. If, in a decade or two, somehow the package car top rate was down to $21/hr (in today's dollars), would you be on here talking about how you had it tough when you were a driver too? Hopefully you see that any driver at $21/hr would not want to listen to anything you had to say about how you were in the same boat. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] I'll repeat: nobody who was hired ten or more years ago should talk like they have been in the shoes of today's newbies. Being a part-timer today [I]is[/I] a non-union job. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] I guess I'm still waiting for the verbal rape. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
