[QUOTE="Mnupsmam, post: 1159531, member: 48286"] It's not all about the smaller raises or the fact that UPS has always given 60% of its profits to its workforce up to the previous contract that is, now that % is being lowered again, and its not even all about our healthcare that "won't cost us anything from our paychecks" except larger co-pays and deductibles and new non-covered procedures.....you are all forgetting the freight contract and how that will affect us. The new line haul jobs at freight are designed to take loads from ups hubs when needed or as dedicated runs for ups freight drivers. Ups is making a move to stop using the rails as it will speed up transit times is some cases and eliminate down time for freight drivers that have no run back home, also it will eliminate dry loads being hauled and paying a driver to run empty, also the railroad would rather run more crude oil from ND than our loads up here in the central religion at least. The freight contract will being the transfer of ups feeders jobs and sleeper team jobs to ups freight and then you can forget ever becoming full-time if your a part-trimmer and if your a package car driver i hope you like your route because you will be stuck or bumped in the near future, and if any of you who are currently not a feeder you may as well stop hoping and praying that you will get your chance because if this contract passes you will never see the inside of a ups semi.
