Labor Shortage

[Just A UPS Guy]

It wasn’t meant to feed your kids it’s a “part time” job
If you got kids you need either another “part time” job or a “full time” job
Do you not understand how the world works

So you think all PT employees should make 35 bucks an hour or more ---like you do?

We all made around the same amount, both PT and FT years ago. It was to protect the FT jobs. Having low wage PT jobs just encourages the company to move more work to PT.

Too busy working FT hours at UPS as a PT employee to work another PT or FT job.

Not complaining about anything. August 1st I will be at $38.08/hr to not wash package cars. While the company hires more $20/hr delivery drivers. Had some time to kill tonight so I washed a package car for a friend of mine. Don't tell my PT sup who is sitting in the office watching Net Flicks on her phone.

So you are ok with all PT making $38.08 an hour then?

Because that should be a full-time bid job

Personally I don't give a friend if UPS goes tits up today but do you really think UPS could survive long paying 38 bucks an hour to everyone? Last figures I could come up with were that UPS had 543,000 employees (just in the USA). 38 bucks an hour comes out to $20,634,000 an hour in straight time wages alone. Sure-UPS should bump the PT wages up some but $38.00 an hour---get real. UPS's days are numbered the way it is.

Under 300k union. Management can suck it.

Also it's a PT job and if UPS treated it as such members wouldn't work more than 4 hours. Problem is they want to be able to work you any hours they see if but still only pay you low PT wages.

Also you've been saying UPS will go under in 10 years for 20 years. Give it a rest Nostradamus. !)

You just made my point. See UPS can afford to pay $39.28 to part timers.

You should be more concerned about the Non-union personal vehicle drivers at the moment. Your union don't seem to be. Then again you being a PT driver I suppose you don't care either.

We need those jobs before time to pay into our pensions.
Instead of company use on a loopholes to pay somebody a higher rate to do a full-time job

You mean the ones they use during peak that pay dues because they are seasonal drivers?
