I keep wondering how the middle of the contract got just .75 raises during a known inflationary period. Realistically the $2.75 first year raise didn't even catch us up to the inflation of the last 3 years even though it was the biggest one year increase ever. It looked good on paper though so they snuck in .75 the the next two. It was certainly a UPS win getting the next large raise 4 years from now.
Most food items are up around 50% from what they were 4 years ago regardless of what government says. Anyone who does groceries twice a week knows. Housing is dramatically up. On a positive note, we are getting bigger raises than much of the workforce even if it falls short.
