[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 4656158, member: 73381"] The union would love to have higher starting wages. But you ignored his point. Look out into the parking lot next time you go to work. You'll see a ton of nice cars and trucks. You'll see a glimpse into the lifestyle creep that affects a lot of drivers. Are these guys (and gals) going to strike to get their preloader an extra dollar or two an hour? No. They are not going to jeopardize their families and lifestyles for the sake of a bunch of part timers who have a hard time showing up to work anyway. That's for the ones that are established. Have you seen our seasonal hires? How about (lol) the seasonal driver helpers? Can you really blame the full timers for not wanting to stick their necks out to get them more money? As much as we'd all like to be making $35+ an hour (I'm a part timer at $14.80, for the record), it isn't going to be a reality. Those who want to make a living at UPS wait their turn, and go driving. The others leave. There are hills to die on, and there are battles that aren't worth fighting. Seasonals and part timers should not be the priority. [/QUOTE]
