When does the negotiations get to the economics/pay?

[PT Car Washer]

For 3.5 hours a day as a starting wage? Been happening for 2 decades. I’ve always been a proponent of “It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you finish.” I started this job at 15 hours a week at $8 bucks and I was fine. I now make almost $37 an hour and now over 100k a year. Get your partimers to vote and maybe things will change. Why are you still part time?

So you are okay with a $2/hr raise in the starting wage over a 35 year period?

Apparently the majority is. What should it be right now?

Although I opposed the two tier wage, $8/hr was still far above the minimum wage. I never dreamed the Federal minimum wage would be more then the Teamster negotiated starting wage.

What did drivers top out at then?

$.50 more then a PT sorter or Preloader. I can't remember that far back.

Close but inaccurate. The company doesn’t dictate what they have to give. The union will actually go over the finances and negotiate the sum. That sum will be split mostly by the union. You say drivers make too much, drivers will always get a good raise for 2 reasons. #1 We vote. And #2 the IBT income is dependent upon our wage calculated at 2.5-3x the hourly wage. So no raise, no more income for the IBT. WE WILL ALWAYS GET A RAISE!

I heard no raises for full timers for 2 yrs, most of money going to part timers and new hires!

Pt starting wage $14, benefits after 60 days. Miniimum pension contributions up until vested (5 years)

Minimum pension contributions? Our pensions are in bad enough shape with full contributions.

The pension doesn't work

How did you hear that when there is not a single economic proposal on the table

It works pretty good for those that are collecting a check every month.

Mines doing fine, that being said, don't think most people would like the 401k option. Look at all the disgruntlement when management went that way.

I want them to max out my pension contributions.

Put the same amount of money that goes into the pension plan into my 401k . You would be way ahead of the game.

Just guys talking around our building. Our building cant keep any part timers cuz of the pay and the amout of work they have daily. They work for a week or 2 then quit.

Probably, but still have a bad perception of it all

I keep hearing this, but am curious, how many other jobs they quit after a week or two also?
