Not very many low pay jobs do, but you could get any local city job, and would have everything you mentioned. Meter readers get everything we do. I know mail people that make over $100k a year, and that job is cake compared to what we do, and you get to throw a temper tantrum when a car or UPS truck is parked in front of a mailbox. They hate having to get out of their seat. The economy is good, and there are job vacancy’s all over the place.
Show me their health and welfare package. I call BS. I guarantee nobody in the mail gets what we got.

But the post office does the same thing if not worse than UPS. That want you to be a casual forever. And the Sunday premium work goes to low paid casuals and not offered to top seniority people.

We make a a lot more than the post office employees do. Not sure how many hours you would have to work at the post office to make 100k. As a driver at UPS you only need to average 50 hours or so a week to hit a 100k

Are you kidding me! This alone shows how clueless you are. Your intimidation may work on others but not me. That is a two tier driver and the are all over. Stop acting like this is something new. We all know you don’t want people to know Ron Carey let them in the 1997 contract. You keep trying to discredit me but you keep putting your foot in your mouth! Two tiers drivers already exist all over UPS, they have no 9.5 rules and get paid less than a RPCD. They work temporary and year round all over so don’t act like a 22.4 is something new.

Yup, 50 hours is the norm, anymore. I have known a few people that got in with the Post Office, and didn’t star off casual. Just like UPS, i was hired off the street fulltime. Actually, the year i was hired, 4 of us got fulltime, off the street. The few insiders that wanted it were DQ’d from driving records, and no one else wanted it. Heck, right now not many part timers want full time. They make out better working part time at UPS, and then going to a different gig. Some of the guys have their own business.

And UPS wants to get rid of some of those part time jobs because the benefits cost more than the hourly wage.

I did think long term when I started here. It's not just about me. There are three companies around this area right now offering part timers full health insurance on their first day, including dental and vision. One of them is not Amazon, before you ask. This is going to be an utterly terrible peak. UPS must understand that raising the wages to $13/hr is not going to draw flies anymore. They've been trying to get people in here since May. No sale.

Used to be the preloaders didn't make that much less than the drivers. So don't try selling me on that.
