[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 135045, member: 5831"] I was one who stood out there on the strike line and told UPS they were full of it when they said they could not afford to make the wage and pension increases and still be in business. And we were right they could afford it. But we are the best paid and for good reason. However Fed Ex is getting better with cheaper costs and DHL is paying their workers peanuts. Now DHL is terrible but with all of the cut routes at UPS our customer service is not what it used to be. My plan was to include quality of life improvements since money does not buy happiness. Yearly raises yes, just a tad lower is all, pension increases, how about 401k matching funds, an extra week of vacation at 5 years, more full time jobs and full time combo jobs, the ability to convert 1 week of vacation to 5 option or personal days, lite duty during regular work hours and for both on and off job injuries and illnesses, more job protections, vacations and other benefits for our military workers, the ability to get paid straight time if you need to skip your lunch at your choice to get home, newer improved trucks with all trucks having power steering and heat exhaust fans at the back of all trucks, etc etc etc [/QUOTE]
