Default Feb 1st Raise

Anyone heard anything about the raise Feb 1st? A few months back there were rumors going around here that we wouldnt get it because of healthcare or something...So I just wanted to know what was going on

If it would help with the layoffs I would give back some of my pay to help my fellow drivers/hub...what do you all think of this?

That raise is in the contract and any changes would have to be negotiated with the union and maybe even approved by the rank and file.

Im a steward, and this question came up during the summer. Both UPS n your local would all have to be in agreement for this to happen. If it did, it would go into your pension only. As of now everything will stay the same, Ck with your BA.

Just think of all the money the company is saving by having part-timers waiting 12 months for benefits and 18 months for their family. This is having to save the company millions of dollars. I see this language keeping away that 30 something part-timer at UPS only for the benefits. I can not see many 30 something guys waiting 18 months for the benefits. That 30 something guy who needs the benefits does not miss work. he or she comes everyday, becuase they know the value of our bebefits. Kiss the productive, half intelligent new hire part-timer good bye. This is why we can hire nothing but kids living with their parents. These kids do not need the benefits, and therefor do not have to have a job. Our hiring pool is a waste pool. 99 out of 100 part-timers we hire do not need the job. This is killing our service to ou8r customers.
