[QUOTE="splozi, post: 967802"] I only got up to about page 5 of this thread, so I hope nobody brought this up. There were a few posts from those pages that this is in response to. I keep seeing the $8.50/hr thing mentioned for pt timer work. As far as I am aware, 8.50 is for the "unskilled" positions, and 9.50 is for the "skilled" positions. I believe that during the preload shift, there is really only one unskilled position and that's unloading. During the night shift... I'm not sure, but I believe there are some skilled positions in there as well. Can anyone tell me if these come out to be about 50/50? Anyway, my point is that after 90 days I was making 10.50/hr. So, while 8.50 is technically the stated start wage for part timers, after a pretty short period, a lot of part timers are making 10.50, which isn't quite as bad. Don't get me wrong though, a raise would still be great. And regarding the argument that higher starting pay won't necessarily make people work harder, ...if your job pays better, you typically want to keep it. You don't want to be stupid and lazy and risk losing it. That's another way of looking at it. [/QUOTE]
