It's amazing how many don't grow up til they are in their 30's.
Not quite sure what that has to do with this thread.....

No fair!!! Dad!! I got scolded and he didn't!!! I'm telling!!I just turned 40, and am still waiting to grow up.
Yes. State minimum wage right now in WA is $8.67. As of Jan. 2012 it will be $9.04. I just found out tonight that UPS will probably pay the new wage. Then I'll get the $1 raise after my 90 days.
You will not get a $1/hr raise. That is not what the contract says (Article 22 Section 5(b)).
If that piece of paper explicitly says you will receive a dollar raise, then maybe you will. Save it.Hmm... I'm trying to learn more about the union, especially regarding the contracts. I was told last night that what ever contract you are hired under you will have to go by that contract for as long as you work at UPS. Are you talking about Art.22 Sec. 5(b) from the most current contract or the one you were hired under?
During my cornerstone classroom sessions I was brought in to an HR office to fill out some paperwork. While doing so I was given a piece of paper that outlined certain things like when health insurance kicks in, what will be covered, what my wage will be in the beginning and how much I will be making after 90 days. On that piece of paper it says after 90 days I will receive a dollar raise.
I guess I will find out soon enough.
Listen you NY'ler !
Manager at a pizza franchise earns probably around $12 US (here it's $15 or $16 an hr).
I know !
Don't make your boy sound better than he is, like you praise yourself more than you deserve.
So you wanna obilish Obamacare, too - so your son is no longer a freeloader and belongs to the other uninsured 27% ?
Just wondering.

The contract gives a starting rate, $8.50 (except your state's min. wage is greater, and therefore applies).
The contract gives a start + 90 days rate, $9.50
The net effect (9.50-8.50=$1.00) is a dollar raise, but nowhere does it say $1.00 is added to start rate ($8.50 or $8.67 or $9.04)
The start + 90 day rate of $9.50 exceeds the minmum wage rates you mentioned, and is what I predict will be your pay rate after 90 days.

Actually, just corporate UPS should be embarrassed. There is always a big uproar and backlash against Walmart and big box stores because they don't pay enough to new employees. Yet those companies offer much easier, climate controled jobs, many times with employee discount cards. UPS paying minimum wage for back breaking work with very inconsistant hours isn't just embarrassing, it's a disgrace to the company name. Seriously, think about it, minimum wage to work in a 100 degree or 0 degree trailer. What a shame it is. Worse than any big box company by far.What a sad commentary on the state of a UPS part-time job.
We should ALL be embarrassed.

OK, I don't know what the hell your problem is, but it is getting really old.
My son is a FT college student who is working at Papa John's for spending money. He will be graduating in December with a four year degree in Global Supply Chain Solutions.
The thread is about health care coverage for children and that is what my post was about. Our health insurer (NYS Teamsters Health and Welfare Fund) has been mandated to extend coverage to uninsured children who have not yet turned 26 and are not offered coverage through their employer. Papa John's does not offer health care to their employees, even the FT ones, so my son is now on my insurance.
I suppose it could be worse---he could be in his mid 40's, been fired from his job for drinking on the clock, pushing a hot dog cart.
