Faust, are you just willfully ignorant?

This woman has worked at UPS for 12 years and makes $21 an hour. Does she deserve a raise? Of course.

Where in this story does it say the starting wage for part timers should be $25 an hour? Where does it say if there isn’t a $10 an hour increase to the starting wage there should be a strike?

What part do you want me to read?

and that is where the article lacks. She should have taken a stand on what she thinks part-timers deserve to get and what should be the catch up pay. I will help her, it needs to be 25/75/5.
$25 starting and base pay with $0.75 for every year of service, attached to a 5% wage increase.

Thanks for promoting an article where the author says, “I'm proud to be one of 350,000 workers at UPS who are members of the Teamsters Union. Our newly elected general president, Sean M. O'Brien, is also from Boston, where he started as a truck driver. He's a militant leader who is fighting — for us and with us.”

Keep up the good work!

12 years and making $21 is sad. O'Brien will not land $25 and it will create havoc among the part-timers.

The MRA in Salt Lake City is $24 and $23 in Portland.
