We don’t even have anywhere to put all of them. I don’t know what the hell we’re gonna do with them if we don’t strike L O L.

A lot of angry members. It wouldn't surprise me if the West and NorCal get voted down along with the Southwest.

I believe the west will get voted down. Lots of talk about the south, but they seem to show up poorly so who knows.

So if the national passes, and those get shot down like you say, is there away for pension contributions to be increased or are we stuck with the money allocated by the national?

You smell that?
According to the West webinar video, the West's pensions will increase by $1500 by the end of this contract. Is that not correct?

Each year is worth about 360 bucks a month in retirement if there is no bonus to the multiplier, for the past three years it’s been above 450 because of multiplier of 1.6% instead of 1.2.

it could be. I didn't watch the webinar. Still doesn't mean that people are going to be happy they are getting less than someone else. They see large contributions to the New England pension per hour and just $.25 to ours over 5 years. Hard to tell people that our contributions went to wages for everyone while others got higher contributions on top of it as well.

$1500 is more than $1000.
Ours went up a total of $400 during the life of the last contract. Were was your outrage then about fairness?

I just want to work full time inside. If my hub can offer year round sign up sheets for pre load and I can consistently work 40hours a week.
Why cant I be full time inside worker and receive the benefits associated with the position
so many people complain how part timers expect full time wages but dont seem to understand(or are willfully ignorant) ups full time inside positions are the gold at the end of the rainbow.
pay inequality is also an issue for me. It seems like we could still be in a situation where day1 hire at CACH makes more than 25 year veteran at different hub lol. Its not obvious to me that the GWI would boost the veterans pay over day 1 employees but Im not a math major. MRA hasnt been addressed to my satisfaction. I dont see how my hub could possibly staff peak even with the increased wages without offering an MRA again but we'll see I guess
same union same local same job different pay.
anyways came here to rant looks like this contract will get approved.
also shout out to the midwest for consistently getting terrible deals compared to our brothers in the southwest and west. I never understood why that happes but its amazing to see every contract lol

Is a sensor a camera?

No it’s an infrared monitor that tracks eye-movement, but it really doesn’t matter, because the language is very strong against the use of them in anyway other than training.

"20 week period if you've averaged 35+hours per week for the period you'll automatically be promoted to full time inside"
some language like that would be awesome to stop UPS from using part timers for full time work
The Midwest gets terrible deals???
Dude. 705 and 710 regularly beat out on most non economic issues.
We may not win on pension payouts, but housing is probably half the cost or less of the west.
