Raise in new contract

UnionStrong

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Anything than less than a $5 immediate bump to top rate is a no vote from me. Im really looking for closer to $10 immediately, but if there are enough other new “wins” i will entertain $5. But i will still be looking for an additional ~$2 per year on top of it.

A $15-$20 raise over five years is just not gonna happen. Imo
I predict $30-$35 total compensation increase over the course of the next contract (5 years). We received nearly $26 per hour over the last 5 years. I know the pension and H/W are only based on 2080 and the company stock discount and DRIP have been reduced in the past, but I stand by my numbers.

So what are you thinking $$ per hour per year?
Not sure the breakdown per year but I could see much of it being front loaded the first year because of recent inflation. So possibly $3 an hour upfront.

$3.00
$1.00
$1.25
$1.50
$2.00

Something like this. The breakdown per year could be wrong, and the amounts could be off a little. Imo that is not our total compensation that is just pay.

ABF got $3.50 the first year and $3. Spread over the next 4 years

Yep and the employees make significantly less than us and their company makes nowhere near as much money as UPS a year.
The amount as I stated, I think are fair does not mean I believe UPS will agree we will just have to see. Pension and insurance Hass to be extra on top of that so we have a long way to go.

The pension and healthcare money is even more important.

We need to be paid according to the profits our labor produces. Talk to people who work similar blue collar jobs and you will find out how little we make. Most Metro bus drivers, train operators, welders, etc I know in the MD/VA/DC area make 150-200k with ot….Firefighters in MOCO are making 250k easy….Federal Police officers -175-225k we need $$$$.
