He had been touting this garbage as being necessary for the synergistic survival of ups & union. As expected, the prediction was fallacious.

Probably the best option which many overlook is to get into a permanent PT air position. That way when you do go FT, you would stay at your rate if higher than the starting wage for FT, which if you're at top rate for air is much higher than the starting FT rate. So instead of getting the proposed $18.75 to start you would be red-circled at your air rate for four years.Next contract Liquid Swords........after all... UPS was able to move us to the 4 year progression...so we do in essence have a multi-tier wage for a 4 year period. Sad really....knowing that some of the individuals I know have been waiting 14 years to go full time driving.. probably will have to wait a year or two more....and then....wait 4 more years to make top rate. APPROXIMATELY a 20 year wait to make full time drivers wages..!!!!! That same employee will work another 10 years full time and be eligible for a 30 year Partial Service Pension consisting of 2/3 of his part-time pension amount and 1/3 of the full time pension amount.

I believe his words were, if not this contract, the next.

I will bump this thread in five years.
Let's make something clear: I miss UpstateNYUPSer and I've run out of ways to see his return, so I am resorting to petty tactics to try and incite his response.

There is a thread by this same title in Union Issues. Both are needed ???
To add an ounce of legitimacy to this waste of a thread, let's discuss this option. Over the years I've read two different sides to this on the brown cafe.
Scenerio: I drive Saturday air as a part-part timer. I top out in this category. Later on I go full-time driving. Do I start at the topped out air driving rate or do I go to the lower starting rate for new full-time. Most have said yes you do get red-circled but I recall a caveat.
