[QUOTE="22.34life, post: 779215, member: 23722"] i agree with upstate,in 2013 ups is coming to the tabel with their guns loaded.this contract will be the last good one we get,i think the company will take care of the people that have been there for a long time but people getting hired after 2013 will be getting screwed.a two level pay system for drivers is almost certain,and reduction in benefits is probably coming also but i think it will be more of a thing where people hired after x date will get this and people hired before x date will get that.raises will probably stay around what they are maybe a little less but this idea that ups is going to be crippled financially because we all make to much money is absurd how can a company that had a net profit of $996 million in the third quarter make a claim like that.at this rate ups will make a net profit for this year of almost $3 billion,when we got the 2002 contract i went to a union rally where the teamsters said ups had a net profit for that year of $4 billion and i didnt hear people saying lets give it all back to the company cause they cant survive with only $4 bilion.now i know thats a billion dollar difference but $3 billion is still a good yearly net profit.the difference between now and then is the fear factor.
