You greedy bastards

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

You may not agree with the practice but contractually I am doing nothing wrong and would be a fool not to take advantage of the easy extra work. I suggest that next contract negotiations you push for a stop to the practice. Most likely I will be retired by then.

I have. As long as willing part-timers are willing to perform full-time work it won't go anywhere. Glad it works out for you. I still disagree. Doesn't mean I'm right because this is an OPINION.

You mean as long as it is contractually available and the huge wage gap between FT and PT. You can't blame a person for bettering himself when the work is there. You can't blame the victims. Fix the system.

To sit there and say we don't deserve to make what we do is just idiotic. It's not like you get paid that amount as soon as you're hired. It took me 10 years to get full time senority then another 3 years to hit top rate in my building. We already had 5 guys quit because our building is ran so poorly. If it was as easy as you're making it out to be they would still be there. This job is not for everyone, most can't do it.

How about the FT porters making $37/hr to clean the toilets and empty the trash cans and mop the floors? I suppose they work so much harder then non Union janitors and deserve their $77k/yr.

The point here is, even non-union janitors deserve decent livelihoods. Otherwise you're following Upstate down the same rabbithole ...

Also. When it comes to the FT/PT split, let's not forget that this was the company's idea to maximize profits and the Teamsters signed off on it.

You're going off the topic. We are talking about drivers at UPS. Not someone cleaning tiolets.

Do you think the person who cleans the toilets is beneath you?

The way you talk about our jobs here, clearly you think you’re above everyone else in here. Your question is invalid.

The most coveted job at my building. Drivers waiting decades for the opportunity.

Never said that----what I said was that I felt that we (you) are overpaid for what we (you) do.

So drivers deal with crap for 25 years or so just for the opportunity to deal with crap?

It is exactly the topic. You say you are entitled to your wage because of how hard you work. How about the Porters? Don't they work just as hard?

25 years won't touch a Porter job. closer to 35 years. A porter almost has to die before they replace him. We have one that is 70+ with no intentions of leaving. Highest paid hourly in the building.

I have to ask the question since Dave is such a a## kisser why did he never go into management?

Hiring freeze.

 

[BigMoney]

Since when you worked there for many years.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You have to apply for a promotion to management unless there is a hiring freeze in place.

I don't think anyone is beneath me. But, anyone can clean a tiolet, not everyone can do our job. So, That's why we get paid what we do. Make sense?

 

[542thruNthru]

I don't understand. Please talk to me like I am in second grade!

$40/hr for our job is simply absurd!

The 22.4's are the first step by the company to bring your wages more in line with reality.

Fixed it for you champ.

 

[MrFeeder]

Those checks were earned and are nowhere near $40/hr.

Do you think you’re entitled to your pension checks?
