[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 141951, member: 2020"] DERF-----finally a post that is logical.a 2 tier P/T wage--makes sense!! To add full time employees is so expensive with all of the additional costs above and beyond the wages--health and welfare--it costs UPS $1000 a month for UPS to put someone on the road--that is $1000 a month to the Teamsters----doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to see why UPS doesn't want to add friend/T people--cheaper to pay the overtime. And to compare UPS $8.50 and hour P/T with other companies----how many companies out there pay $8.50 with full time benefits for the entire family??? I would like to see a higher starting wage for P/T---but cut back on the benefits--makes sense, but the Teamsters woudl fight it tooth and nail-----you are talking about $$$Billions not going to the Teamsters!! Regarding all of the comments about 25 and out-----that is what was being proposed in the 97 contract-----with some controls by UPS of the Teamsters Pension Plan--THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE TEAMSTERS DO NOT WANT!!! I would like to see some shared costs of health costs for FT and PT and a change in the pension plans----I would like to see UPS go to a 401K match of 7-10 %,( it worked for Overnite--it was their retirement plan!) have the employee be in control of where the money is invested (S& P 500---Mutual Fund--whatever)-----the money would be there ---and it would be 25 and out regardless of age---it could work--just don't let the Teamsters tie our hands like they did in 97!!
