TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED AT UPS

[Brownwind]

Time to buy a new quad and snow plow , and maybe another chainsaw

Buy some more property then buy the toys once the land is paid for. You will never regret expanding your backyard.

 

[MECH-II]

Too early to tell. We just got a few points shared with us not many other details.

Most should take the raise and invest unfortunately most will blow it and complain about it.

Toys for camp ?

I have 5 acres of solid national forest I have more than enough to take care of

Is progression going to 2-3 years?

I used to advise the drivers in progression that if they were comfortable at their current wage to take the windfall bump to top rate and dump it in to their 401k. Very few actually listened and even fewer put my advice in to action,

 

[MECH-II]

HEE HEE SAVE UR MONEY
HEE HEE PUT IN UR 401K

that raise doesn’t mean , a pack of gum is $5

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Is progression going to 2-3 years?

That would have been one of the bullet points so I doubt it.

 

[Non liberal]

NO for me unless we're getting that additional vacation week for 35 YOS.

That’s a big fat no for me too. Nothing for working through covid? 2.75 in 2023 does that mean right away or just by the end of the year? Either way that doesn’t cover inflation.

 

[Non liberal]

Carol seems a little too happy about this deal....

Happened way too fast after both sides walking away

 

[Cheesypurpletees]

Is progression going to 2-3 years?

I’m in the late stage progression camp too, very curious on that matter. My luck is usually as good as stubbing my toe on a hot concrete sidewalk, so I’m guessing it was the concessional part of the deal

Is there a parcel you can buy to log or divide and sell later? You can use your job to leverage a side land hustle. After you cash out in a few years you can pay cash for the toys.
I agree that quality equipment is needed to maintain property. Never cheap out on the quality.

 

[Trucker Clock]

You didn’t Make it “ Simple”

I made it simple.

The starting PT rate went from $15.50 to $21.00. That is a 35% raise.

 

[Memester]

If it’s 2.75 8/1/23 and an additional 7.50 over the rest, that’s a yes

If it’s 2.75 in the first year but 4.75 over the remainder, that’s a hell no.

 

[anonymous23456]

200 stops for everyone august 2nd

210 because 10 extra packages are from FedEx.

 

[clean hairy]

...which means there was a lot of work being done behind the scenes...

YAWN!
Go away! This contract does not concern you!

Yawn

I’m a believer in saving first and investing in property I can cash out on. Mineral rights, logging or parcel divide sale. I know I’m not alone in this strategy.

Presuming the Company will continue with their MRA’s when needed.

That's what I've been trying to figure out, don't forget the 1.50 to

 

[Non liberal]

Maybe. But I think we did very good. I'm not willing to risk it just to get a little more. We already have too many people laid off.

Everybody else got a ratification bonus on top of their raises. Where’s ours? Hell ABF got more of an inflation bump then we did.
