How do you know this? Crystal Ball? Magic 8 Ball? Or just Upstates never ending wisdom? (j/k with the last one).
Anyone else seeing a HUGE increase full time jobs?

If this were true they would have extended the hiring freeze.

No, I don't have concrete information on this----it is my gut feeling that these new hires will be covered by the provisions of the new contract.

This is why I made my comment about hiring right now. I just can't believe they would allow so many to go on at the old progression rate when it's so close to the 4 year one.

We've had a hiring spree in my building as well. We'll end up having hired two "off the streets" in less than two years once our current hiring spree ends.

Aren't they starting at a higher rate than in the 3 year progression? Wouldn't each of the steps in the progression be at a higher rate? Yes, the 4th year sucks, but isn't it a better deal in the long run?

I think it is possible but keeping top rate away for that extra year would mean a decrease in total earnings over 4 years. UPS would have to be making out if they pushed that 4th year.
I just don't have the math in front of me.

Why else would UPS want to go to a 4 year progression if it would not save them money.

It's rather obvious that the IBT has agreed that all new hires and promotions would be under the new contract.
Otherwise, UPS would not be hiring like they are.

Some many hoops to jump through, and so many restrictions, plus people who run these companies pay taxes too. It will work to some extent, but no, you will continue to see NY-NJ job loss and population drop. Next will be Wall Street. I can really see Austin chip away at this. Once they go, it is over!

We just landed a company from Arizona, which has agreed to move all of their manufacturing here.
The last few new sub-divisions built on my area are full of people who moved from New York to escape taxes. Some of them told me their property taxes were higher than their mortgage note.

Our center added 3 full timers in December and just hired 3 more with 3 in training. And there are talks of more. We have 1 Tcd because of all this going to full time.
We are hiring 7 and we have fired three. We are wondering who goes driving next, and who gets fired next. I dont see why they need to hire more, when they constantly cut routes and send people home.
They also asked who had plans to retire, that may have some input into how many are hired. The pt air drivers dont want it, and the ones that do IMO should not even try.
