[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 328661, member: 14462"] As much as I disagree with part-time wages at UPS (I took about a 40% pay cut before the union takes their cut), I also have health coverage. In my opinion, the initial lack of coverage for new hires under the new contract should have been compensated with higher wages. For my own personal reasons and the hiring conditions for my center, the situation was worth seeking employment with UPS rather than one of the other union skill trades where I could have made more money in the short run (at a sacrifice I was not willing to make for family and personal reasons). I also know that if I am patient, I will have an opportunity to give an honest day's work (as opposed to the honest hours' work I give now) for an income that surpasses anything I could have ever earned at Wal-mart or any of my previous civilian jobs. I know that I will go home every single night and weekends are mine. This was a career move that came with sacrifices and has rewards. Wal-mart never even showed up on the list of possible careers.
