[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1129281, member: 43436"] Smoke & mirrors, IMO. Consider: Many PTers working overnight shifts (including Preload) already start at $9.50, raising to $10.50 after 90-days and $11 year one-year. Typically, these employees accumulate more hours than their facilities' day/evening peers. So let's assume that more than half of hours accumulated by one-year employees are paid at $11.00, the rest at $10.00. If the new contract eliminates skilled wage premiums (but grandfathers seniority employees) and the 90-day raise (which didn't exist prior to the 2002 contract), and maintains a two-tier wage system that assess 50c to new employees after 90-days, that means all new employees would earn $10.50 after one year. Thus, the total payout by UPS is LESS than what it is today. Like I said ... probably just smoke & mirrors. Of course, we'll have to await the details. [/QUOTE]
