These people going through the 4 year progression today, after working only 6 months part-time (or hired off the street), don't see that previous generations had a longer progression in reality and got no full-time pension credits for most of it.
My progression was 11.5 years and I don't remember ever complaining.
I’m still in progression. It keeps getting tacked on every five years. We all are. Raises are a good thing!
Nope you're absolutely right about that part and I was wrong. I did believe that. But in all fairness they promised other things that didn't happen like the elimination of PVDs.
Where’s my retro?. by the way, three phone calls today because people did not have the raise on their check. Not low seniority people either. We are doomed.
The big confusion here is with the 22.4s. They all thought they would skip progression and be able to do automatic 9.5. They for some reason thought progression was only a 22.4 thing Lol
I find it humorous that the vote, no crowd could even imagine that negotiators would have a clue where to start They’re literally mad about everything.
Most full time care about pension, 9-5. Part time is off the radar, don't care.
I want my Jew check
That’s your concern on this contract not everyone’s. Actually you’re concerned about a very small segment of people who are getting more than you. I’m not discounting your concern I’m saying it’s not going to sway anything. The pension is set for this contract.
Small segment? For all but two funds—the IBT-UPS and New England funds—and one local rider, the Southwest, the company will contribute at the same rate as in the prior contract, with zero increases.
I said a small segment got raises. You really need to listen and stop being such a drama queen. I’m in the central, and it doesn’t even apply to me maybe I should throw a fit as well? Aren’t you the same guy who was complaining that you wouldn’t get what team Care was getting if we went on strike? You seem to be very unhappy about everything. As long as it’s fair for Wally. Life’s not fair. Vote no, that you’re right it won’t change.
And the Southwest only gets that $.25 one time. So, really, it's just the two.
The chosen few...
The question should be why did all the unions agree to it and why did the negotiators agree, to it start there. Those people should be held accountable During the next elections.
According to @542thruNthru it had something to do with the terms of the government bailout. I don’t think they had a choice.
I'm waiting for my review meeting to find out exactly that. But, in truth, we all know why...wage raises are more fun to look at. Sean got FTers 45% more than negotiated last contract and got UPS to spend $30B overall, 130% more than the last contract. He gets to pound his chest. He checked to make sure all plans would stay green and stole it for his raises.
That's why the New England gets so much, they legally have to contribute a bunch to that fund because of it. I don't think anyone who understands what's going on there is upset about that. But, it's a bad look to have Sean's fund get a big bump and everyone else's contributions remain the same.
