[QUOTE="km3, post: 2289430, member: 56117"] There are fine details that would need to be worked out. What happens to the wages of employees who currently make less than whatever the proposed new starting rate would be, for one thing. Do they get bumped up to the new starting rate, or do they get bumped up to the new starting rate AND retain their raises? For example, I've gotten $1.50/hr in raises since I've worked here. A $1.00 skilled pay increase, and a $0.50 annual raise. I make $11.50/hr, straight time right now. If they were to raise the starting rate to $15.00, would that be my new rate because it's higher than what I'm making now anyway, or would it be $16.50, to include my raises? The escape clause is another detail they would want to work out. UPS will inevitably want to lower starting rates at some point in the future, and the local union probably wouldn't allow that unless employees who were able to receive the new starting rate/got a raise because of the starting rate change could keep their raise(s). In other words, no new hires at $15.00 getting bumped down to $10.15 a few months later when the escape clause is invoked. No unskilled 2-year employees who got bumped from $11.00 to $16.00 getting knocked back down to $11.00. There are fine details that need to be worked out to make the transition as fair and understandable as possible for all parties involved. [/QUOTE]
