[QUOTE="Misthios, post: 5664601, member: 70459"] Here’s the issue with your logic. The cost of everything is sky rocketing so therefore people have to make more money to keep up. Our wages are not competitive in any way on the part time side. We get crap loaders because currently that’s what we pay for. If we want to be able to be selective again and employ only the best then we have to pay in that range again. Part time sucks. Loader, unloader or whatever else. We should be aiming to pay more than Amazon, CVs, chewy etc. not less. Secondly your thought process is exactly what ups wants. They have driven such a wedge in between full time and part time that you now have anger and resentment towards them. We are meant to be a united teamsters not a fractured one. We should cheer anyone getting more money from this company. They did us dirty during the pandemic and made untold sums of money for doing it. Everyone needs their fair share and I’d argue this isn’t enough. Carol didn’t deliver anything or do anything for us but got multi millions in bonuses off our backs. Shareholders profited immensely from corporate stock buy backs. We did that. None of those cowards lifted a finger to help us when we were working 70 hour weeks non stop to try and keep this going. So no $21 an hour isn’t enough for them and $49 at the end for us drivers is not enough either. [/QUOTE]
