Anyone heard anything on this? Id like to see them talk thier way out of this one.
UPS has already announced on UPSers that there will be no additional COLAs.
This is in line with what other businesses are doing nationwide. We aren't the only ones having to tighten our belt.
When the company makes billions you think 35cent is a good raise?
Technically it's 70 cents. They just decided to split the raise. Now we get half a raise every six months.
Why?
I've been asking that question a lot lately in regards to this company.
Because the Teamsters agreed to it. Also because the Teamsters are going to keep one of them for H&W,wait and see.
I didn't agree to it. I voted no.
So did I
When the company makes billions you think 35cent is a good raise?
well who voted yes? everyone on here says they voted no, i dont think theyre owning up to their desicions (not directed at anyone specifically just an observation)
I also think its huge that we don't have to pay for health insurance. Massachusetts residents are now required by law to have health insurance or you lose your state tax refund.
I know people that pay $200-300 per month for a family health plan. I pay zero.
We also get money paid by the company to the teamster pension fund. It amounts to a couple of hundred per week. Again, we pay nothing out of pocket. I have taken this for granted in the past, but no longer do.
I don't see too many ads in the help wanted section for which I'm qualified that is for work on days with no weekends, paying $28+/ hour, free health/dental/vision for me and my family, yearly raises, union protection, the opportunity for overtime (this can be viewed as a + or - but I count as a +), and pension fund contributions that don't come out of my pocket.
Has anyone here ever discovered such an AD?
Fact of the matter is, many of us stay because of the compensation package. Many people complain of the job. If you don't like, then just leave. Problem is we can't because most of us have nothing else to fall back on that comes remotely close to what UPS has to offer.
I'm done ranting, I apologize,
