They currently top out around $40/hr and work minimum 55 hours a week.

They can, but .gov does everything it can to prevent it. Apparently this time they can't.

As for the fellow getting intoxicated, while working with tools, and, presumably, driving, of course he got fired.

Tolerating that kind of behavior gets your insurance coverage revoked/gets men killed.

I’m retired Post Office. UPS did drop shipment for us. Those people run everywhere. If you think those jobs are easy. Go get one of them.

Biden: Tentative railway labor deal reached, averting strike

quote:
The five-year deal, retroactive to 2020, includes the 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses that a Presidential Emergency Board recommended this summer. But railroads also agreed to ease their strict attendance policies to address some of the unions’ concerns about working conditions.
Oh. My.

So extortion works.

Now the price of transported goods are going to rise even more and the lazy union slime gets to be even lazier with even more obscene salaries.
