[QUOTE="UnderPaid, post: 1090153, member: 45890"] Fact is that PT's have no voice. We are expendable. We are numbers. I want PT's to get compensated like they deserve. No amount of insurance can make up for the physical labor and hardship I endure at work for a measly $40. I have been with the company for 5 years and am beginning to lose patience with the carrot-on-a-stick routine. "Oh you are almost a driver! Stick it out!" as they bleed every bit of work out of me they can. Part timers work more than anyone I know. In fact I would argue that many of us work harder than most people period. The FT's say that we need to be more active in the union meetings. When you are made to feel insignificant and paid as such. When there is no hope for change, Why would you possibly expect us to participate? Full timers who bypassed working in the HUB have no idea how hard we work. I won't pretend that I know what it's like to be a driver as I only drive Saturdays, but we lift 4 times as many packages, walk just as far, and are the FOUNDATION that this company operates on. Our HUB functions on PT's who are stuck in the system for years waiting for a FT position. Have you had your truck loaded by a new-hire lately? Imagine that every day on all routes, and rampant miss-loads costing the company tons of cash. At 8.50 starting, no one cares about your load quality. Take care of the Part-Timers or UPS will lose profitability. [/QUOTE]
