[QUOTE="bear123, post: 164084, member: 5196"] Scratch The union's stance is exactly what you said. They have over a year to sit tight. Hopefully they will remain that way. If the company wants this settled by March 30 or at least by the time Founder's Day approaches, then the company will deliver what we want. What scares me though is, if the company start getting nervous, especially when Founder's Day approaches, UPS will try to throw in a signing bonus. This cant happen. This CANT ever happen. If the company offers this, alarm bells should resound in the negioators' heads. They should throw the signing bonus in the company's face and then walk out of the room. This would definitely make a strong statement for the union that we aren't messing around. For those of you who were around in 1982 and 1985, look what happened there. Workers took the signing bonus and ran. As a result, everyone hired since then starts at 8.50 an hour. What's alarming is the starting rate is still 8.50 an hour. That was over 20 years ago. The starting rate is fast approaching minimum wage status. And UPS is wondering why there is still a massive turnover rate for parttimers. [/QUOTE]
