[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1085980, member: 31414"] Honestly rod...... I would not even refer to your comment as a "prediction". It is a well known fact that UPS has been the winner in EVERY contract....UPS profits are proof positive of this fact. I know Scott Davis ($10 million plus salary) would certainly agree with you.. The primary accomplishments of our Teamster negotiators have been limited to "redistributing" the wealth among full-time employees and part-time employees. Obviously other protections have been negotiated but not always enforced... Subcontracting for example (Article 32).... Even though the current contract forbids subcontracting....the IBT has agreed to SurePost and Mail Innovations.... Don't get me wrong...I'm all for making our company more competitive with delivery options like SurePost... but when the company starts reducing routes to the point that 9.5 grievances skyrocket and full-time driving opportunities fade away.... I tend to get a little "less understanding" of what might be considered "Corporate Greed".... The simple fact is that each and every employee (non-Board management & hourly) is NOT compensated adequately for the time, work, and sacrifice they put into the company. (note: no amount of money can compensate for lost family time) Public employee pensions are far superior to that of any UPS employee (outside the UPS Board)...not to mention their hours and working conditions. The people I really feel sorry for are the current part-time work force waiting to go driving.... and those current drivers who had many years as a part-timer.. When you actually calculate your pension for your combined time..... be prepared to start negotiating for many more handicapped parking spaces outside of your UPS building. GOOD LUCK if you can ever get a straight answer in WRITING on what you will actually receive when you retire..... (Hint: your part-time years will not count as 1/2 the number of years toward your full time retirement....example... part timer working 10 years is NOT equal to working 5 years full-time.. All in the SPD.. (Summary Plan Description...) (Also...do NOT trust the full-time online calculator) [/QUOTE]
