When does the negotiations get to the economics/pay?

[Frankie's Friend]

Why even hire part timers? Just use a temp agency!

We need those union dues and contributions to pay for our benefits package.

Don't forget the hefty invitation fee!

That’s for all the golf....

Construction workers I know make more in roofing and concrete work than I do with the benefits added. Not everyone lives in Kentucky or West Virginia.

Bro-Dude-Homey .. Just for the record ..Because of the slave labor and wages at UPS, here in the Mountain State , UPS has trouble getting and keeping the body count to fill and keep the positions they need.
Why..shucks and pon my honor, even somebody from West Virginia has enough sense to drive a water truck 4 days a week for a 100K a year and 100% medical and dental.

Damn...Never heard of that before. It's almost like sharecropping in the old south. Can you imagine sitting on a charter bus for 2 hours each way to work preload or midnight for $11/hr? "Swing low, sweet chariot..." That bus must have smelled ripe on the way back!

They tried that here around 2014. I think they were paroled from the prison system. Many were shuttled in 1.5 hours away, and all they did was go do their drugs and sleep in the break room. And steal from people.

Oh it’s truly scrapping the bottom of the employment troff around here. On one of the charters one night that actually was full of helpers, they drank and got high on the way home. Subsequently they all were fired. Other instance....or should I say three instances involved peak hires coordinating with accomplices to come on to the property during the morning operation and throwing packages into rental trucks off of our various MDU’s. Hell one of the crews just attempted to steal one of our rentals on site. So yeah, you can see that paying a good wage is far more of an operational necessity then some on here are willing to admit.

Oil and Gas baby, oil and gas. Money everywhere. Pourin' like rain for the next 20 years.
If I was 21 today and UPS offered me full time with any route I wanted, I would smile and wave bye bye.
The boys in the palace better give you guys somethin' worth sighin'.

 

[Moneythehardway]

Don’t care about pension, health and welfare, or working conditions?

How about harassment or technology?

Screw everything else

Brine trucks.

From Pensacola?

 

[teamsterdan]

You would not say that if you were Infantry or Cavalry or the other combat arms.

ALLONS

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Just what the company wants to hear.

 

[dudebro]

No, it's not, but if we want to keep up with our competitors we need to address the wage inequity.

I look at it a little bit the other way - our competitors have to be feeling wage pressure.

Good point.

[22.34life]

We tend to have two extremes,the piss all over me but pay me good and all I want is to be able to do whatever i want.

 

[22.34life]

If the starting pay is increased to say $15 How do u compensate p/t who make less.so does this mean every p/t goes to $15/hour.
