On raw wages:

    Fedex

In the KC area, FedEx is sitting at $12.50/hr for newhire unskilled labor. If indeed.com is trustworthy.

    UPS

The UPS/IBT national contract sets the floor for newhire unskilled labor at $10/hr. In the KC area they are at $10.20.

UPS is in negotations with IBT right now for the new contract that comes up August 1st. It will be... interesting.

UPS wins hands down once the union benefits kick in, but that takes a year.

tl;dr: UPS < Wallyworld < FedEx
