[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 614233, member: 198"] There are days here and there where I can't help but think "Am I really getting paid this much to drive around?" but that is usually when I'm on a rural route. :) I do think a pay freeze for us full-timers wouldn't be a bad thing as long as we get COLA. Give the part-timers raises. They need it. I'm a lifer at UPS and I want us to be able to keep beating FedEx years down the road. Customers have always preferred us because of service (and sometimes price too) but nowadays they are willing to sacrifice that service to save a buck. I'd hate to lose allot of business to FredEx because of price alone while we are making $30+/hr. I have to admit that sometimes I think we are overpaid. If I had walked into this job and made $10/hr less I would have been happy. I have friends that have been with other companies 10+ years and don't even make half of what we make and some of them have college degrees! I'm happy for what we get paid but we have to think long term. Can we continue to get these huge raises while trying to fight off FedEx? [/QUOTE]
