[QUOTE="Thebrowntruth, post: 103440"] WKMAC, I hope we are not alone and someone will come to power in Atlanta that understands the facts of what is happening on the front lines. If we keep our heads in the sand and Fedex and DHL will continue to run up our rear ends!!!! I have to laugh at the WONDERFUL BENEFITS comments that keep coming up. Please people UNDERSTAND this....those that need benefits are usually older employees with children. I hate to sound cruel but understand that 30-50 yr old employees joining us as PT workers are not what we need long term. Consider the job and the physical shape you we in when you were 18 to 25. Then put yourself in the shoes of that older newly hired employee. When their kid is sick will they pay a babysitter 10 bucks an hour to come into work to earn 9? NO, they will call off sick and the ball starts rolling with PT sups working and on and on and on.... The part time wage DOES NOT and IS NOT giving us the strong pool of workers in our PT ranks that ANY of us feel comfortable about stepping into our shoes to keep UPS rolling when we are gone. But then again, I have to admit, our current leadership that doesnt recognize the problem isnt giving me a warm feeling all over either!!!! [/QUOTE]
