A Repeat of 1997

[BigUnionGuy]

Contracts used to always be for 3 years.

Until 1997.

Until 1997.

UPS wanted longer contracts for stability and to help out long term plans. It wasn't the union's idea.

The company wasn't stupid.

They dragged out so many contract issues through the grievance procedure.... for years.


Now.... they have realized how much money has been spent on co-paying for panels.

Salaries, food, travel expenses, add up.... for both sides.

The problem was that UPS wouldn't start seriously negotiating until the last minute and kept wanting contract extensions.

It started with Ron Carey in 1993.

Inflation over a dollar

Inflation was about a dollar combined over the two years. 2019 and 2020. My raises have equaled about $1.02 over inflation since January 2018.

Inflation since 2018 is about 4.2%, my raises have amounted to over 6%. Since 2013 there is has been about 12.3% and my wage increases have been over 16%.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Since 1968.... the minimum length contract was 3 years. That changed to 5 years in 1997. (Ron Carey)




We've had improvements in wages, vacations, and pensions in every contract.


Givebacks ?

Meh....

The company is entitled to something in negations. That's how contracts work.

Lol.

[Turdferguson]

That's BEFORE AMAZON AND UPS MOVED A LARGER FRACTION OF THE NATION'S GDP .

UPS Supports The Administration To Serve The Economic And Healthcare Interests Of The Nation.

"UPS is a significant part of the fabric of the global economy. The company transports more than three percent of global GDP and about six percent of U.S. GDP daily."

You dont think that would up the economy if we went on strike again?
Get off Amazon's tip dude

If you had any balls....

I vote, and I vote pro-union.
But, I'm a part timer who has averaged 2300 hours a year, for years, with part time pay, and part time pension.
When are you guys going to stand up for me?

Have you bid on a full-time job?

 

[BeachBoy]

Have you bid on a full-time job?

I have, but it's about 10 years seniority in my hub to get an in-house, FT position.
I AM a teamster, and I help you get your job done.
A full day's work, a full day's wages.
And a pension that recognizes that.

if you're working at many hours all the time they need to make it a full-time job
That's something needs to be addressed in your local supplement
