[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1763191, member: 42270"] Maybe. I think there are a ton of "what-ifs" with that statement. If we're talking about a 40 hour work week, then I'm inclined to agree. That's $600/week (before taxes) which is more than I gross as a senior PT'er at UPS ten out of twelve months a year. If we're talking about a UPS preloader getting chased off the clock at 3.5 hours/day, then its $262.50 before taxes. That's not even spit in the eye for rent. Also -- keep in mind -- a lot of jobs have been casualized in a similar fashion to UPS PT'ers over the last decade or so. Micro shifts and the like are a lot more common now. [/QUOTE]
