First, I'm not "you guys" so chill on the fluff. Second, the Amazon center that opened within an hour of my house started at $15/he for 8 hr days. That's $3 more? Not until the pandemic did I hear of any significant increase due to the need to fill their bloated volume due to the pandemic.
What kind of quality insurance do they have compared to TeamCare? I'm sure you can come up with some unsubstantiated response for us.
So you assert some vague comparison and try to demean the rebuttal when apples to apples you can't. Healthcare is a $450/week boost for a part time upser after nine months and if the part time employee works over 5 hours they get time and one-half so their same eight hour starting wage is $16.63/hr then add the free medical for a family plan the total compensation is over $39.00/hr WITHOUT the pension bump. When you whine about part timers not staying for five years to be vested well I guess they finished college and moved on as they planned.. Did you forget the (up to) $250 per week bonus the company has paid part timers for coming to work every day on time? I'm sure you did.
Check any of my posts and please screen shot anything I said to run down or disparage any part time Teamster. You won't find any so stick to the facts and post reality because your post looks like Swiss cheese.
Oh right, how could I forget about the attendance bonus that I never received and only ever happened in select locations with major staffing issues. The attendance bonus is an ironic thing to bring up actually. For such a well-compensated job they sure do seem to have a hard time getting people to stick around.
Amazon starts at $15, the $3 thus comes from $1 + $2 hazard pay. I guess you drive trucks for a living but I'm sure even you can follow math that simple or do I need to illustrate further with pictures.
I think they recently got a lump sum payment too.
Meanwhile, crickets from UPS and teamsters.
This started because someone claimed Jeff would commit suicide before he paid Amazon employees a living wage.
I just pointed out that they make more than us an hour, which they do. We were talking about wages, you're the one who's panties got all twisted and started drawing up some hypothetical situation in which a preloader achieves the maximum possible compensation as though it's typical. Because as we all know the average preloader is some guy getting attendance bonus with 10 kids all on teamcare with 25 years vested and also going to college with the tuition assistance. Is it really that hard to admit that there isn't a huge difference in compensation and Amazon even outperforms UPS in some areas?
