Is there anybody at the wheel at UPS that can pay attention to the real world?

[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 542188, member: 16651"] UPSNewbie; Regarding your comment of.... "What is in the contract is the minimum. UPS can pay more than that." Actually, I don't believe it can.....at least not unilaterally. If it did, I think it would be in hot water with the NLRB for bypass bargaining (or whatever the term is that I'm racking my brain for, but can't remember). One way to think of that is to consider the unions reaction if, right before contract negotiations, the company unilaterally chose to pay p/t'ers significantly MORE than what the contract specified....with the left-unsaid assumption that, if the UPS-proposed contract didn't pass, that raise would be terminated. Pretty sure in such a situation that union would be screaming bloody murder. Once certified, a union considers itself the sole representative of the workers, and wants to keep it that way, without any runarounds by the company. And that desire usually includes automatically being against non-negotiated, unilaterally applied non-contractual increases. [/QUOTE]
