We were in a recession there was actually some deflation. I just hit full scale in the middle of the last contract. Here's the problem I see. Say inflation is only 2% the first 4 years of the contract then jumps to 6% in the last year and looks like it will stay there for awhile. Will we get a 6% raise? Hell no!!!! So u ask for raises based on historic inflation. Some years u come out ahead some a little behind. Funny thing is I see this as looking out for part timers. So when they go full time they aren't making less than previous generations. Ups must be some kind of magical if they can continue to raise prices 5-6% every year when there is no inflation.</blockquote>
