[QUOTE="tbird2000, post: 260317, member: 6465"] For me it's not UPS or the poorhouse. I fuel our jets outside at night and when the snow is coming down and the wind is a blowin' and I'm freezing my ULD off, I think "Is it worth it?" . Benefits are great, don't get me wrong, but when I'm wet and cold am I really thinking about my pension? No, I'm thinking about my reward via direct deposit on Friday morning for last weeks torture. What I'm getting at is the split raises, they really expect me to bust my ass through peak and rack up hours of overtime when I know I could be taking home more if my raise came all at once? It would really piss me off if this split raise became a reality, at my gateway they cut our hours hardcore after Jan. 1st. When the other half of my raise kicks in (Feb. 1st) I'll be getting booted out after 3 hours. Maybe I am looking at this too one-sided, it's the side that is telling me to vote "no" [/QUOTE]
