[QUOTE="NJx89, post: 966158, member: 41267"] It really can't get much worse then it already is in my hub. Tonight at around 8:30 they must of had 3 or 4 people unloading on one of our metro lines for 20-30 mins that had one sorter on it. I was running in between both metro lines trying to help them as they got pounded and 1/3 the work was falling on the floor. Literally so much work was coming down, it couldn't even fit on the entire width of the belt. And this isn't a rare occurrence in the slightest. My real question is though, for what reason could they possibly need to do that? To save maybe 10 or 15 mins? It's absolutely absurd. They tell us how we have to be safe and then provide an unsafe work environment. Ups is a joke. Maybe less negotiation power for the fters, which really isn't a concern in my opinion. They already have it made and the only thing pters get is the benefits, which like I stated earlier only helps a max of 30% of pters. Basically the people with families, and the lazy pill head broads in small sort. The starting wage now is about to be minimum wage in NJ soon (min wage is currently 7.25, so you start off a whole 1.25 over minimum... lol, getting a boost to 8.50 soon) If I don't see at least a dollar raise on my paycheck after they raise minimum/update the contract and I'm not already working somewhere else, I'm definitely gonna make it my mission to find other employment. It's just not worth it. [/QUOTE]
