What Part-Timers will get.

[TeltBender]

All new PT hires are guaranteed $16.65 after they pass their probationary period and join the union. That's when the Cost of Living Adjustment kicks in. $16.65 is the contract wage of $15.50 + .82 COLA + .33 COLA = $16.65. And a four year seniority PT doesn't make more than a 30 day seniority PT. It's all the same in the current contract.


It's not just your region, they're hiring at $16.20 (or more) everywhere.


Sorry, but it's already happening. UPS is and has been at $20+ at dozens of hubs. In some cities, package handlers are starting at $22, $23, $24. Sorry to all the teamsters who were cheated for so long.

it is $23 in pretty much all NJ

The issue is/was pay and benefits.
Minimum wage is a "respectable hourly wage" for a PT position. Most PT positions do not include the fantastic benefit package that UPS provides.
If you owned a business or had some training in Business Finance you'd understand.
Not to mention, UPS created PT positions to be what they are, not what the employees wish them to be.

I’m sure they can’t afford to give up a piece of that 100 billion $ pie

Fifth. Half the pay, less than half the hours. They're lucky if they can even clear 25k a year.

Parttimers make so little money they can qualify for Medicaid in many states. I certainly did before my current position. Medicaid is better than teamcare in many ways and the only thing our benefits package saved me was about $400 annually from dental visits.

If you’re only comparing top rate drivers to new hire part timers to make your point lol sure

I doubt that the PT pay scale is/was ever intended to be in step with the FT progression.
UPS wanted to attract young people in transition to their PT ranks.

Do you PTer's get health benefits for their families or just themselves?

Family

That “100 billion $ pie” is revenue, not profit.

Minimum wage is not a respectable wage for any position. It is the minimum legally allowed. In fact, I think it is quite disrespectful as you are signaling to the worker that you would value them less if you could.

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject.

We already get a share of the revenue smart one. Where do you think our paycheck comes from? By definition, it CANT come from profit, because if it did, it would no longer be a part of the “profit” category.

Your paycheck is an expense.
What would you like to cover next? Costs?
LOL

Why you guys hate part timers so much lol. We do back breaking work and get treated like garbage while paid a low wage. Is it that bad to ask for a decent wage?

Most of us used to be part timers.

But we got better.

UPS Annual Net income profit in 2018 = 4,791 Billion....(beginning of current contract)

UPS Annual Net income profit in 2022 = 11,548 Billion...(last year)

Do the MATH next time the Company says:

"We can't afford that"......

How stupid can we get????.....

Since they worked for $1 an hour in 1945 they think we should get paid $1 an hour in 2023, if you disagree you are a SISSY as they say.
