That is all I am saying. I am shocked you agreed it is an improvement.

Like i said, it would be an improvement over TCD language, but they are still apples to oranges. None the less, if passed we would now be stuck with TWO horrible substandard groups. Hell,between TCD and 22.4, the way UPS interprets things, we’d probably have 50% of the drivers not be RPCD.

Here the cover drivers get red circled so they jump progression pay and they keep the 22.4 in check because their language can make the company hire more RPCD’s. It’s weird but it actually gets guys into hire pay faster. If the cover driver went away completely you would actually loose some benefits and be in a slower wage progression. That being said yes it could prolong going full time but you get higher pay faster while building progression and full time pension. Based off top rate a 22.4 working 40 hours with wage, pension and healthcare gets yearly contributions of $130,000 and a RPCD gets $143,000 at the end of the contract. First year is $114,000 compared to $129,000.

What kind of improvements did we get in our healthcare?

You know, seeing as how there was an increase in the contribution.

You have to check your region, ours got retiree cap raised from $500,000 to Unlimited, no deductible for major medical and parttimers get healthcare after 9 months instead of 12
