Depends on where you are in progression, as the $2.75 raise may put you over the progression rates, but if it doesn't, you'll get them both.

Will the 2.75 follow me to my new progression on October 16 of this year and bring me to 33.50$? I’m at 25$ now until October

No

Years ago there were no PT workers. I think it was in the late 70's?? that they converted over to part time workers. I started PT in 84 and we had two full time people left.

Early 60's from what I understand. And if UPS wanted to hire PT Union members they had to be paid the same as FT Union members. And FT Union dues.

No, you'd already be above the progression rate, so you get nothing on October 16.

Instead of money going to the pension is going into the raises

I don't like this

I'm right with you.

The earliest mention of PT workers (I have) is March 10, 1968.

They were called "student workers" and the contract only covered 4 Locals in my state.

Pay rates listed.... they started @ $ 3.01 an hour with no progression, and raises of .15 and .16 cents

the following years. Pkg was @ $3.81 and Feeders was @ $3.98 with the same yearly raises.


They were first called PT workers in 1973. I am missing the wage rates from that contract.

In 1976, Pkg drivers, Feeder divers, and PT had a 90 day progression. But.... pre-loaders

and sorters had an additional 9 month progression to reach top rate. PT still had a 90 day progression

and annual raises of .50 cents a year until 1979, for a grand total of $ 7.17 per hour.

I remember the 90 day progression and since I worked preload I received another Dollar after gaining seniority. Never heard of an additional 9 months but that could be a local thing. Inflation calculator says $8.17/hr in 1979 is equal to $36.50 today. A long ways from $21/hr.

Part time jobs should not exist at a union shop.

People deserve the dignity of a real job.

It was the Central Region.. but it was the State rider.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I'm right with you.

I'mma wait till the union meeting when they go over everything and I will make up my mind.

The union status of a company has zero bearing on how they run their operation

Obviously you're wrong Dan.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Obviously you're wrong Dan.

Am I? I was told from Day One that the Union cannot tell the Company how to run their business.

Am I?

Yes, you're wrong Dan.
Try reading the contract. It's full of language about how things are to be done.

Please try to be nice to him

Is retiree healthcare does not cover the medication is he actually needs

For some reason he still thinks he works here

That's a damn shame

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yes, you're wrong Dan.

…and none of those preclude the use of PTers…

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

…and none of those preclude the use of PTers…

I said it should.
You said it can't.
I pointed out it can.
Now you're saying it doesn't.
And we're back to me saying it should.

I'm glad you're all caught up now, Dan.

I agree completely. PT Union jobs are just another wage concession. If the company wants to use PT Union labor pay them the same wages as a FT Union member.

It means they can't send irregs with regular packages. So they need to be saved for certain times like the end of the sort to send them all down the belt.

We already do that
