[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1127290, member: 15470"] Been campaigning hard for the past couple weeks for everyone to make sure they vote. Now I'm going to lean hard and tell them why they should vote "No" on this agreement. The starting wage increase is a paltry $0.50 over the old contract. Yes, I understand the starting wage is $8.50. But after 3 months, it moves up to $9.50, and on the old contract, after a new-hire has hit his one month anniversary, it goes up to $10. On the new contract, after a year of employment, a new-hire with 1 year seniority will be at $10.20. 20 cents? Give me a friend'ing break. And all of you saying they can get the $1 raise for sorting, that's only if there's an available spot. In most hubs, these spots are filled by combos and high seniority part-timers. Getting that extra dollar is by no means a guarantee. I don't want a perfect contract. I want a fair one. And what they're offering leaves a lot to be desired. [/QUOTE]
