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

[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 543018, member: 484"] One of the main reasons that GM bit the dust is that they sold off the cash cow known as GMAC. That arm allowed customers that did not qualify to buy a new car could get an "in house" loan to be able to buy the car. Sometimes with rates as high as 25% or more. Big mistake. Getting back to the subject at hand, TPL hit it on the head. The company can raise the start rate if it so chooses. And it can do so when it wishes, just like allowing the part timer to work more than the 3.5 hours that it is required to work them. This ability to raise the minimum wage at UPS is already negotiated and in the contract. So why would there be an outcry if UPS did so. You keep throwing around all these excuses for why they cant. But those are all empty words. The ability to do so was negotiated and put into print in the contract. That allows the company to increase the minimum wage as it sees the need. Without further negotiations or input by the union. Now, those increases would then be considered the base rate for a new hire. And they would then be the minimum in the next contract. So what the heck is your problem with this part of the contract? d [/QUOTE]
