Reply #63: I started at UPS

in 1990 @8.00 an hour. Twenty one years later starting pay has only gone up 50 cents to 8.50 an hour. That's 8.50 for a job where you work your ass off. We use to go up 1.00 after 40 days. Now you go up 1.00 after 90 days. You do get a lot of other perks such as paid hospitalization for a part time job but to only raise the starting pay 50 cents in 21 years is ridiculous. The union has made a lot of concessions.

I had to leave after 12 years because my back, knees, and elbows just gave out from the gueling work.
