[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3617048, member: 24302"] I never got anything close to what our topped out couriers got, let alone what UPS drivers got. I'm all for them getting whatever they can, but their company is in it to make a profit too, not just provide high paying jobs for people. If FedEx Ground continues to cut into their business, if Amazon takes away a big chunk of their business, if another recession comes and they inevitably do, they're stuck in a contract paying high pay, great benefits, and their profits are evaporating. They can't just up and move their operations overseas and leave the union high and dry. They'll either have to figure a way to remain profitable or if operating at a loss eventually close their doors. I think they should spell out in the contract that they are looking to eliminate overtime but will guarantee drivers 40, or 35 like FedEx. 40 X $40hr gives a driver over $80k a year. And yes if I were making that much and could have a life outside the job too I'd be ecstatic. If one can't make ends meet on that kind of money they should take a long look at priorities. [/QUOTE]
