[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 4015716, member: 51847"] So in 2008 the union potentially conceded $14,000 for every new part-time employee when they made the waiting period longer. Didn't it go from 2 months to 12 months at that time? This was on top of the two tiered progression that came in during that same contract. So, even with it going back to 9 months this contract, this means a new part-time employee will most likely be working without a raise for at least their first two years when compared to a pre-2008 employee. They gained a $5,000 a year starting wage increase but lost $10,000 in potential insurance benefits in months 2-9 of employment. By this I mean the cost to UPS for that same, new employee over their first two years of employment is the same now as it was in 2007 without pension contributions factored in. Think about how bad the union screwed them over in 2008... unbelievable! [/QUOTE]
