Chicago Area Wage Adjustment for
Part Time Employees
In light of the Market Rate Adjustment (“MRA”)
program in the Chicagoland area, and in order to ensure
compliance with the ever-changing requirements of Cook
County and the City of Chicago, United Parcel Service, Inc.
and Teamsters Local 705 agree to apply Article 22.5 of the
Teamsters Local 705 and United Parcel Service Agreement
as follows:
Seniority employees as of Date of Ratification (“affected
employees”) whose hourly wage rate is less than $15.00 per
hour, will have their hourly wage rates converted to $15.00
an hour. Such wage rate conversions will be prospectively
effective January 21, 2019, which is the planned expiration
date of the current MRAs.
General wage increases will not be applied until August
1, 2021.
In the event future MRAs are applied to any part time
employee whose wage rate did not increase as a result of this
LOA, those MRAs will not result in such new employees
receiving an MRA hourly rate that exceeds the rate paid to
the affected employees. If economic conditions change, the
Parties agree to meet and discuss the need for changes to this LOA.
