[QUOTE="steamroll, post: 1127205, member: 13386"] Yes. due to the economy no one would feel sorry me. Yes i'm lucky to have this job. with inflation the raises are sufficient enough. I didn't know that being a Package Car driver was unskilled labor when in fact it's a very stressfull job. When you have to do a lot in a short period of time, dealing with customers, having multiple supervisors on you & do pick ups & leave late with no quality family time. No one off the street can do this stressfull Package Car job & also being familiar with routes. but you have to remember the loaders that load the truck & unloader that unload them & the sorters, clerks & the other inside workers aren't making 33 bucks an hour some are just make 8 and 1/2 bucks an hour part time & having to wait an year just to get insurance & not having enough money just to get to work and lifting up to 70 lbs over their heads & handling up to 150 lbs of irregular packages with dealing with all of the pressure. what doesn't make sense each collective bargaining agreement gains are made in raises then the raises go backwords. you have to remember UPS drivers - workers don't start @ 33 bucks an hour that top. the 50 bucks an hour deal. if UPS workers start @ 8 to 8 and 1/2 bucks per hour with 1 dollar raises every year the poor stressed out UPS worker would have to work for 42 years just to get 50 bucks and hour & if they would start @ 18 years of age they would be 60 years of age to get 50 bucks an hour. the way things are going people will have to work until they die.
