4yrs and 9 months with UPS
*I do not understand this when a coworker that has been my mentor with almost 9 yrs of service is making $17.97.
*What is ironic is i spoke with the head of part-timers at the hall and they said you will only be entilted to either $3.37 over 5 yrs or 4.00 over 5 yrs.
*Then a week after 08-01-08 she called back and said i need you to come in and discuss this with payroll and her.Union Hall is less than a mile from my residence,where i found out i would not receive one or the other but both and also got a printout with my wage increase schedule and my increases in union dues annually.
*Personally this is an incredible benefit for me and will most likely ensure me staying put at UPS and also going above and beyond for the company.
*I also found out with meeting at the union hall that out of the 1500+ employees at my hub
more than 50% a little over 800 are entilted to these same wages,and some a little less and some as high as what im receiveing.
*Did the people who were bargaining know of this clause? (Union & UPS)
*Im sure UPS knew about this clause,but if they were willing to pay these high of wage increases why didnt the union get this for everyine
