I stand by it. Yes I am a DEC, but my reasons for coming to PSA had nothing to do with pay and all to do with quality of life. If I had gotten a good look at the contact before I started there is a good chance I may have gone somewhere else, but maybe not as I do need some PIC.

Now the real question is; why did PSA need DECs in the first place? Where was the 15k bonus for guys with 1000hrs 121 a year ago? Where in the contract does it state that the company can even hire DECs. The answer is it doesn't. Hiring DECs was yet another concession to the contract that you so adamantly defend. And what was your compensation for that concession? Did it help your movement? Did it help your flow? Do you realize how much money the company saved by hiring DECs? I would guess they saved enough to pay at least 1 new hire bonus per DEC, which you are still not getting.

If the company had been forced to increase pay and conditions a year ago then there would have been no need for DECs. A good contract a year ago would have ensured good movement. Instead I'm here, I'm slowing your upgrade, I'm taking your paycheck, and I'm logging your PIC and you still have the audacity to tell people they should stick to the contract and try to help the company, That mister cotton is the bold move.

Forgive me for finding myself in a bad situation and trying to do what I can to make it better.
