[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1293602, member: 14176"] I like Inthegame also, he's usually rational and a gentleman when treated as such. To answer the question i will need him to narrow his definition of "benefits". But if I'm reading him correctly and he's trying to compare wages and benefits for white collar jobs to those of a UPS driver, that is simply unfair. While they indeed spend 4 or more years in college, most drivers spend much longer in the "school of hard knocks" to get an opportunity at the back breaking world of package delivery at UPS. Shouldn't a vocation involving the physical nature of ours, from a company at the top of their game, include top flight health and wealthfare benefits? It's the process of collective bargaining that makes our wages and benefits possible and we deserve every penny and priveldge. So in my estimation, the parallel that Johnny Paycheck and Inthegame were trying to make is quite simply apples and oranges. [/QUOTE]
