[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 3738732, member: 31414"] While I appreciate the efforts of our Union negotiating a $13/hour starting wage for part-timers, I'm very disappointed to see that those part-timers that were hired at $10.50 within the last several years, will basically be paid the same as new hires. Their wage should be $13 PLUS whatever increases they were entitled to as they gained seniority. This is really unfair to those part-timers that have put their time in over the past several years. IMHO.... a $13 starting wage for part-timers was not really a negotiating win for the Union. It was in UPS's best interest to raise the starting wage in order to retain workers. Negotiating and securing a $15/hour starting part-time wage is what I would have considered a "win/win" for both the Union and UPS. Higher wages attracts and retains higher quality workers, especially in a positive economy where competition for good laborers is significant. [/QUOTE]
