New Video! Contract Update! Tick Tock

[Commercial Inside Release]

More people quit the demoralizing management, than the heavy workload in grueling conditions.

 

[Buffet Master]

The ugly be getting uglier the closer we march towards this deadline.

 

[PT Car Washer]

To deliver a letter without time constants, no problem. To deliver 20 stops per hour or 100 pieces per hour all day everyday for a career, problem.
Only a knucklehead that has never done the work would say something so asinine.

Have you ever unloaded a 53' trailer sitting in a 100 degree heat all day with no ventilation at 1200 PPH and then the next one and then the next one with one 10 minute break for 4 to 5 hours or more? Or the sorter who has to know all of the zip codes and what belt to sort them to? Or the preloader loading 4 package cars at 220 PPH and over a thousand pieces in 4 hours while listening to the PT sup telling you to go faster, let the driver deal with the load quality. All for $15/hr at 4:00 in the morning. $300/wk minus taxes and Union dues. Only a knucklehead who has never done the work would say something so asinine.

What's the value of your health care and other benefits?
BTW, what you're describing is exactly why it is a PT job for someone going to school, just starting out. Not some old man or woman.

Value of the healthcare of a part timer? About $1 million in less than a year.

Not only do that part-timers understand what their benefits a little bit of the full-timers do not understand either

Good luck getting that at McDonald’s

It was, but it isn't anymore....just sayin'

Also Values have shifted. many of the younger people have no desire to work 40 to 60 hours.

If that is true I think the company could cough up a few more Dollars an hour in wages. LOL

Seems like the last few contracts they have. And I have no doubt they will this time as many around the country are already making well over $20 an hour.

Is that why delivery drivers are so opposed to working 6 days a week and double time after 9.5?

Probably, I’m not huge on the sixth day. The money is nice, but if you make too much money, you just end up paying more taxes. And if you have a young family, you miss out on a lot of family time I’ve never complained about 9.5 I always have worked close to 10 hours a day. Everyone’s priorities are different.

Just to keep up with the states minimum wage in many parts of the country. So why not make starting PT wage $25/hr and yearly raises?

Once you go full time and make $42 an hour?

Because you have to negotiate that. And the company will tell us it’s a total benefit package that’s been well over $25 an hour out of UPSs pocket.

 

[Thebrownblob]

You can’t ask him that because he still part time.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Once you go full time and make $42 an hour?

Because you don't. Had a PT making $20/hr with the MRA drop down to $16/hr when he took a 22.3 job. Of course in 4 years he will be making good money but not $42/hr.

The way you manipulate the contract would not fly here

Because 22.3 doesn’t pay 42 an hour. Closer to $36 an hour. Still pretty good money.
