[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1090335, member: 31414"] Reydluap....I'm from a time when we only sheeted packages on paper....the maximum weight limit was 50 lbs... and the average package car did not look like a dance hall.......... not to mention that every package car was completely washed every day... The two-tier PT wage was primarily the result of $500 and $1000 bonuses for PT and FT respectively starting in 1982. It wasn't until the strike of 1997 that part-time wages would again increase. "Ron Carey, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said the agreement called for the first increase in the starting pay of part-time workers since 1982 and the conversion of 10,000 part-time jobs into full-time jobs over the five-year life of the new contract. Under the agreement, union workers at U.P.S. would remain in the multiemployer pension plans, with benefit increases for most workers. In addition to the 10,000 new full-time positions, the two sides agreed that five-sixths of all new full-time openings created though attrition or expansion, would be filled by current part-timers, up from the four-fifths in the contract that expired July 31."
