Wherever I see Trump, it smells like he's Putin.
I believe it was 2 years by the early nineties. I started in 89 ($8 hr for car wash) and was pt for 4 years. My progression was for 2 years in 93. I'm guessing, but it was probably at least 2 contacts (8 years?) when it became 3 years. So that would be around 97, right after the strike. It stayed there for many years and by 2013 it went to a 4 year progression. That's all just ballpark estimates, but fairly close I'd think.

I started in 1989 and while I don't recall my starting wage or the top rate at the time I do recall that it took 2 years to get there.

Naa, not really. 3 of the 5 people who are here today are leaving early to go to comicpalooza, whatever the hell that is. Its a dirty shame that part timers in this company are actually going backwards in this company as far as wages and progressions go. Especially, since I believe they are so important in making this company go, at least as much so as the drivers.

Why would the union allow that??? What did the union get in return???
More part timers, more initiation fees

The Company offered bonuses to ensure the contract was ratified.
The Union got nothing in return.

$500 for part timers $1000 for full timers.

The union didn't care much about the issue as long as they got their dues.
And it still hasn't changed.

The first time it was the bonus for every year of the contract (3 years). The next time it was just a 1 time bonus the first year. They were counting on getting the people who weren't looking at UPS as a career to vote for the quick money. And it worked.
Most definitely. $500 was a lot of money back then.

Don't forget those part timers were red circled at higher rate and many didn't care about those hired in the future.
