You mean after the progression went to four years when the union sold out workers to get the insurance money?
UPS hands stockholders $700 million as workers face poverty wages

I always found it funny how the people that eat the whole cow are the same ones that will sit there and blame the poor for sucking the teet dry. Shameful how many teamsters voted for Trump.

Socialism is for Europeans.
Greedism destroys all forms of economies and government. Money and power are the root to all evils around the world. The CEO of UPS makes over $30,000.00 per day 365 days a year. I still believe in capitalism but without a strong middle class the US will not remain a true democracy. The ignorant are breeding much faster than the educated in America. I shake my head when many welfare recipients who claim to be conservative support tax cuts for the rich. They have no clue that the hardworking middle class pay a much larger fraction of their incomes for their benefits. Unfortunately the momentum of greed in our country is out of control and will be very difficult to reign in.

Hard to feel bad for part-time lifers. Part-time work is not meant to be livable. If that were the case no one would want to work full-time with UPS. In any walk of life you are supposed to improve your situation by promotion or applying for another job instead of blaming others. I was a lowly part-time worker for years till my name came up and decided to be an adult and gain meaningful full-time employment.

Let us not forget "PART TIME" for Part time work, that's pretty dang good, and benefits, and most part time jobs assume you are working another part time job

Ups pays part timers about $35 an hour. Twice as much as your system does.

If UPS payed PT $35/hr there would not be a labor shortage.

It is my contention that the Government/Big Business (one in the same), pretend to be concerned about entitlements, but really aren't.
They actually depend on them, in every form, to perpetuate what I term "The Siphon".
"The Siphon" is dependent on the entitlement system, where every penny extracted in taxes from working Americans and subsequently redistributed in entitlements, is spent on goods and services that are provided for and profited from by Corporate America.
The lions share of the profits are realized by the mega-rich and are squirreled away in off shore accounts, while being disproportionately under taxed, never again to see the light of day or be reentered into the economy.
This in my opinion is the single biggest factor that is driving the ever widening disparity of wealth in America and what is killing the middle class.
If it doesn't change soon, we will find ourselves back in a similar feudalistic existence as the ones our forefathers came here to escape.
