[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1137449, member: 43436"] UPS is giving us billions in wages, benefits & productivity changes in this contract - it's not saving any money. Unquestionably, the pressures major shippers placed on UPS forced it to give us more than it desired. You have to remember that much of UPS's profit is driven by supply chain, logistics, international operations, etc. Additionally, shippers are increasingly placing pressure on UPS (and others) for lower cost, less profitable services. You're assuming that UPS will continue to hike its rates up by 6% or more every year, which may or may not be true. It's probable the company's hitting the wall on some aspects of its services, in terms of greater-than-inflation increases. I'm voting "no" symbolically as I'm certain the contract will pass, but I'm upset with the continued growing imbalance between PT & FT. It's not an "under the table" deal. If you're FT, it'd be in your best interests to pass this contract. More PT labor to subsidize a 100K wage for you in five years... imagine that, being among the top 5% of all wage earners in the country doing a job at least 25% of the population would be willing & able to do for your wage....
