if the TA gets voted down how will our representatives know what to fight for when they return to the negotiation table?
Its simple better raises for all especially part timers and better language for job security. I would love to have same healthcare but I dont see that happening that looks like a done deal. With record profits UPS could easily give us all atleast $1.20 raise a yr.
I rest with the right to rebut...Now that I think about it, your right $1.30 sounds more like it!

How exactly do you propose UPS covers another large raise, without raising shipping prices so they can stay competitive, while keeping their profits high so their stock prospectus doesn't suffer? If UPS was still a private company I'd be shouting like you are, but we live in a world where stock prices are the reputation of the company. Do you know what happens every time we get raises? UPS raises stops per car. This is coming from a new on car sup I was talking to who just went through training school...verbatim. They find technology that saves them money. They cut staffing. Either way, we lose.
Rudy, if the company was at 7 billion, I'd agree with you. You need to do the math and factor the other issues along with a raise of that size. It's not as easy as saying here is some cash. If we were not publicly traded, I'd also agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I wish we could get $10 more and hour, but I'd like for UPS to be top dog for at least another 15 years.Its simple better raises for all especially part timers and better language for job security.

The contract before the union sent out questioners to the members. Why they didn't this time? Idk. Unless it was a done deal before the "bargaining " started
You should have finished you last statement. I'll do it for you:Rudy, if the company was at 7 billion, I'd agree with you.
