Yeah you’re both dating yourself and disregarding households that have children. Any vehicle, 4 door, in reputable shape will cost you around 30K. Newer end will cost around 50K. Point being cost of living has gone up while your wages, unless you work at McDonald’s, has stagnated.
I suppose I am dating myself. Still I never thought I would be making $40/hr at the easiest job I have ever had.
I tend to budget on working 8-16 hours a week at most.
Sounds like an unfair labor practice to me.Pcm this morning: business as usual, then the manager has something to say "I am sure you noticed our volume is down SIGNIFICANTLY. Whats happening is fedex is stealing the volume by going around telling places about UPS potential strike and how you need to sign with them NOW. If i was you low seniority guys i would be worried. I also would tell your representatives that you don't want to strike you want to work! Cause alot of people didn't work after the last strike and the union gained NOTHING...."
So many lies and half truths...
Its not like we are returning to precovid volume levels, and there is a possible recession, AND IT IS THE SLOWEST TIME OF THE YEAR EVERY FRIENDIN YEAR! Nope FedEx suddenly stole ALL the volume. This guy..... He had another anti-strike rant around september.
I was talking to a worker at the post office a couple days ago and she said "we are low on volume. If it wasn't for you guys and Amazon we would have hardly anything to deliver." Yeah i am sure fedex stole their volume too suddenly.
Please informing supervisor that was the best contract ever.Pcm this morning: business as usual, then the manager has something to say "I am sure you noticed our volume is down SIGNIFICANTLY.

As a small business owner, I can attest that wages have grown significantly. Powell has repeated over and over that wages will be the stickiest part of inflation. We have had to become creative when hiring and evaluating for raises. We've started offering paid birthdays, lunches, volunteer hours and gym memberships to avoid higher wages. You can take away a bonus (turkeys), but you can't take away pay and expect employees to stay. Employers last resort is pay, and since 2021, finding, keeping and affording employees is a huge task.
I thought 2018 was the best contract ever.
PT'ers vote the least and get screwed the most
I wonder what percent of part-timers who were here in 2018 are still here and still part time?
Remember when they sold some bad contracts with a one time bonus instead of permanent benefits? Buying the PT votes.
Dump the lump
That’s no Way to talk about @UnionStrong
Inflation is up again and stocks are down. Which means they’re going to need to be more aggressive with interest rate raises. In turn that leads to more layoffs with businesses borrowing and spending less. Hundreds of thousands have been laid off in the tech industry. There’s still massive shortages of labor in the service industry. The people in charge are giving you the best twist they can provide on the numbers they put out.
$40 is not enough anymore. The last 2-3 years killed the middle class. Burger flippers got their wages bumped up to $20 an hour while the middle got jack.
This is what our government wants.
Thousands of lay offs and record employment at the same time wages are up. Stocks are down but the Stock Market is not the economy. You sure put a strange twist on reality.
