It's important to understand the slanted positions of your oposition, in order to prepare for a battle. This rag is written and read by a significant portion of the population that have no clue about the working class. Don't write it off as irrelevant, while I disagree many embrace this position.

We might as well get used to this kind of article as August 1 approaches. UPS has lots of friends in high places and we're going to see them use their connections to talk about $100,000 Package car drivers and $150,000 feeders. We better get our message out so we don't look like they'll try to paint us.

Two-thirds of UPS workers are part-timers that can barely afford to pay for gas to make it to work. In some hubs these PT make it late because they don't own a car. When you started working at UPS the PT wage was probably double the minimum wage. When I started the PT starting wage was well above minimum.

How exactly would you like an economic system to work in a free society??
You enjoy the highest standard of living known to modern man. You can do and be anything you desire.

The Scandinavian and Nordic of Europe nations have a higher standard of living than the U.S. as due Japan and the Persian Gulf nations of Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. They make more in wages, with rent controls, guaranteed paid vacation by law and outstanding healthcare coverage.

A true representative democracy, not one that removes people from office for expressing their views, or the color of their skin. We are headed towards an authoritarian government. Embracing unbridled capitalism has never been the answer.
