TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED AT UPS
- Thread starter Jimmystruther
- Start date
Yeah, you are either ignorant/misinformed/an idiot. As a federal contractor, UPS is obligated to pay $16.20 an hour which here, will allow you to squat in a vacant lot. So friend you, Mr. I got mine.

I don't think there's enough of them, at least in my building. Most of them eat crayons for breakfast and don't know how to spell UPS.

Also did anyone notice no more forced 6th punch for drivers but no mention of PTers, 22.3 or anything else.
Why is no one talking about the fact that these raises are basically adjusted COLA's that put us somewhere near where we were before inflation butt
ed everybody?The ultimate result is a pay decrease after 5 years. Who KNOWS how bad inflation will be then. Oh hey you make $49 an hour stop complaining! Yeah and gas costs $9 a gallon and buying groceries for a week cost $300. Can't wait to see how that turns out.

This. As someone who came to UPS from another field that required a college education, I can tell you we are compensated very very well.
When my white-collar friends found out what I made and that I had no deductibles they couldn't believe it. Now we have FT drivers on Reddit hollering about wanting covid back pay NOW, $50/hr NOW etc etc
This is exactly what I mean.
Please address the problem of inflation. Are you saying that we are compensated so greatly that we should just eat a 20% decrease in spending power? I really don't understand.
To be honest though a lot of people on reddit want $15an hour 20hr a week just to exist in the world. From that perspective $50/hr now for the work drivers put in doesn't seem all that extreme

Had progression been shortened it would have been one of the bullet points.

Again, I'm not tripped up about wages. I started making 8.50/hr and I'm on track for top-rate within the year. I'm doing fine.
I'm just highlighting how the entire 22.4 position was a bait-and-switch move. We were sold on one thing and ended up receiving something completely different (well... slightly different.)

A rejection by a NO vote is a rejection of both Carol and SOB, anf SOB will be none too eager to call for an action against himself.
No strike will happen this time.

Are you saying that the great SOB, who eliminated the 2/3 rule would push a contract through??
Say it ain't so.
he wouldn't have recommended this contract if you didn't think it was the best possible we could get without going on strike.
It's the same to me people live in Fantasyland and not in the real world
Maybe it's not 100% perfect but it's a lot better than anything I've ever seen in my lifetime at this place

Do you have a link to the details, by any chance?
I'm just going by what I've seen so far
For the part-time rate to jump up that much
For what everyone feels to recognize is the language was actually huge gainss, very huge.
Maybe it's not perfect that's a good deal and I really hope everyone considers it.
