Our contract and wages, the numbers

This is the dumbest crap I’ve heard, this is literally is what is causing inflation and the reason that your “check that don’t bounce” is worth less and less every month
I just made two dollars reading your post. And another dollar sharing it. Thank you.

The average person isn’t going to feel sorry that we’ve gotten 12% and free health care, while they’re struggling to keep their 15 an hour job. Look around, The real world is no where close to our wages based on education level required.View attachment 422779
TLR under the current contract:
Ups rate has increased 27.5%
Inflation rate 19.8%
Pay raise 12.8%
I wonder what the customers would think knowing ups raised their rates 27.5 percent and less than half of that was given to their drivers? Kinda hard to cry poverty and greedy drivers to the public with that in mind.
UPS publishes a GRI (general rate increase) historically this has been 4.9% but recently as high as 6.9%. The “headline” GRI does not include things like fuel, delivery area, and large package surcharges which have all gone up. This number is basically Ups’s report card on itself trying to minimize increases the customer sees. That said since the contract was signed we have a
General rate increase 27.5%
Next official inflation rate as reported by the bureau labor statistics. This time we have a report card from the government on how much it has devalued our money. Most consider this under reported as well and all of us feel it in our pocket. Since the last contract was signed
Official inflation rate increase 19.8%
Finally our number, the pay rate increase since ratification of the contract in 2018
12.8%
Some of these aren’t exact due to how the years line up and a truck driver doing the math but it’s very close if anyone gets something different and shows me sources I will update accordingly.
But you just lost 4 dollars to inflation

Ah yeah, can’t have a good economic meltdown without crippling alcoholism to go with it.

You'll be drinking King Cobra soon
Not sure if I will. I have standards. They aren’t very high but I have them. Life is too short for cheap beer.

Inflation will, or perhaps Mickeys
I’m sorry but I don’t understand “perhaps Mickeys”
I’m a little older and it might be the region I live
I’ve never heard that before.
Mickeys isn't good...
I guess it’s good to not know the lingo.
They used to call them the green grenades.
