$15/hr, Wage hikes tied to inflation? "On Topic"

[Hethatbeking]

There's a lot of talk about hiking the starting pay for part-time workers to $15 which I think is a good thing. But what about linking any future wage hikes to inflation?

Starting pay should not be $15 an hour. Veterans should get better annual raises.

Ok. Pls vote. I'm just trying to get a since of where folks are on this subject?

I agree. Starting pay should be closer to $20/hr with no progression. Just the annual contract wage increases.

Thats called a COLA. Cost of living adjustment. Its in the NMA, but it was negotiated very poorly.

Instead of a $15!starting pay why not make a 4 year progression to $20-25 an hour?

If you want to raise the starting rate, so be it. If you want to raise minimum wage, that's like cutting every one else's wages.

There was a time at UPS where part time and full time received the same hourly rate. Just less hours, longer time until retirement. It's not completely out of line.

It’s a part time job with a boatload of benefits

Everybody seems to forget about the benefits and what they are worth

Another thread where full timers can bash part timers.... Awesome.

You will be surprised by the new wages for part-timers. Thats all I can say!

Hopefully not at the expense of raises for full timers.

You will be good also.

Would not surprise me if it was 4 cents per box for every box you move each hour....

Well considering that everyone is predicting a $15 an hour starting pay. It wouldnt be much of a surprise to see it.... unless of course, there is more happening than just the starting pay

 

[How Now Brown Cow]

There may be benefits, but they still make it hard to have a second full time job. You get 3.5-4 hours and then there's peak when they want you to work 9-10 hours. Tough to work two full time jobs that time of year. A higher wage would make it easier to get by with a second part time job instead of a FT + a PT job.

I make $36/hr and I'm threatened because someone else might make $15/hr.
