[QUOTE="Hotlettuce, post: 5239697, member: 99042"] You want me to tell you what I want, what I really, really want? I want better PT raises. I want a more reasonable vacation accrual table. 22.4 should be eliminated and dovetailed into RPCD. PTers who had ~5 years seniority at the last contract renewal got stiffed on wages. Many now make a pittance more than someone freshly hired. $15/hr is effectively the new minimum wage and to pretend it’s anything but in an economy so fraught is utterly delusional. Gone are the days warehouse work seemed appealing for its ability to provide for families. Would like to see new-hires be jumped to $18/hr starting and anyone who’d obtained seniority between 5-10 years ago make ~$23-$25/hr with those maintaining greater seniority finding their way into the late 20s and early 30s per hour ballpark. This would really once again distinguish UPS from the competition for prospective employees and lead to better performance outcomes internally. As vacations go, it’s nothing short of bogus that between year 1 and year 2 tenured in the company, your vacation time doubles to 2 weeks but then just languishes at 2 weeks vacation time from year 2 until year 10. Your three week vacay earn date ought to occur at year 5 of employment with additional weeks accruing every 5 years of employment following that. Anything I could remark about on 22.4s would be regurgitation ad nauseam around these parts. [/QUOTE]
