[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 250221, member: 5938"] As one of the pt ladies who has been with UPS for many years I make very good money. Hired in under a contract that covered myself and entire family with no premiums and I didn't have to wait for years to get it. I have worked hard to get where I am and have handled enough pkgs and BS to feel I deserve the pay and bennies. Don't understand, however, why the starting wage hasn't increased in all these years. Eight-fifty just isn't enough to draw good people who will work the way we have to. I look around at our newer pt employees and wonder what kind of driving pool we're going to have six to eight years from now. :mellow: Fredly00's idea is a good one but would it work? If those folks didn't show up every day there would be chaos with a lack of experienced drivers to take over the routes. Maybe the higher rate of pay and more professional position would attract better employees. But what would happen to the ft drivers we have now? The union wouldn't allow all those ft jobs to disappear. Heck, that's what we fight for all the time, more ft jobs. Combo jobs are not the same as ft jobs and our current drivers aren't going to go for it. I've heard it said that part timers are the backbone of UPS and see the truth in that. Many of us enjoy the physical work-out but wouldn't want to tackle an entire day of it. Only time will tell how the current set-up is going to affect the future of UPS. And we'll all be there watching.. [/QUOTE]
