[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2388046, member: 64407"] No doubt they have the sweet contract. The teamsters have the upper hand. BUT ask their retirees about how their pensions are in jeopardy. Them and many other teamsters retirees have seen their pensions cut by 30 to 40%. Some were affected, some weren't. UPS has also gone to different tiered salaries. The new drivers are not on the same scale as the older employees. I don't believe their top salary will be the same as older employees. The same for UAW employees. Workers hired today will never make what an older UAW employee does. We never have been on the same pay level as UPS. It sucks but those are the facts. I wish we did but we don't. If your life is miserable and you will only be happy when you make UPS wages, you will be miserable for a long long time. UPS pilots don't make close to what our pilots make and our couriers will never make what UPS drivers make. I wish it was the other way around but it isn't. I will take my 6am to 5pm shift any day over the 9am to 8pm shift UPS works in my area. More money would be nice but when you work their hours, when do you get to enjoy life? [/QUOTE]
