[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1113387, member: 45097"] I am a part-timer and I can tell you. Packages being forced through the hub so hard that half of them and their contents wind up crushed and on the floor. We can't take the time to make sure the contents are correct when we tape the package because that would take time and part-timers aren't supposed to get paid. We get hired for a job and then get sent home, or get kicked off the clock before we even hit our guarantee. Packages are being loaded crushed. Drivers are constantly complaining about the ridiculous amount of work they are sent out with. They are tired and completely over worked. How is a human being supposed to work twelve hours doing that physical type of work then turn around and do it again tomorrow? And expect to make it to 25, or 30 years of service? Then the company wants us to pay for health care?????????? What kind of care do most UPS employees need? Back and knee therapy and surgery. Maybe they should treat their employees like the human beings they are and everything might start looking a little better all around. The customers don't matter to Management...the numbers do. Ridiculous numbers are thrown out to Management and they have to meet them or "See Ya". It's not even their fault it comes from higher up. They need to take a stand and might realize they will be respected for it and stop just saying yes sir no sir. No one has a back bone anymore. [/QUOTE]
