The 1982-1985 contract was extended two years for 1986 & 1987, and the union went back to negotiate the 1987-1990 agreement.

The agreements that followed were:
1990-1993

1993-1997

1997-2002

2002-2008

2008-2013

2013-2018

2018-2023

Correct. If I remember correctly, it was the first time a signing Bonus was offered. I think it was 500 for PT, 1k for FT, payable sometime in September 1985

$350 take home. Small price to pay to eventually have a minimum wage Union work force.

This is my first response to your post. Thank you for joining us on the BC. We respect your opinion and more than a few of us agree with you on the thought that the mrs is always right.
I was taught early. “Would you rather be right or happy?” Congrats on your long run.

Minimum wage? The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour. Part time also get full benefits after nine months, vacations, holidays, college reimbursement, and a pension if stick around long as you. Now having said that, they certainly need to raise the rates to attract better people and they will, they’re already making $21 an hour where I am.

A signing bonus is bribe money.
If they want to pay you to sign, the contract probably is a win for the company.

If there are old decrepits that remember the 93 contract, I think the upcoming contract negotiations may play out the same way. 1993 was Ron Carey's first national contract, if you remember, there was a lot of anticipation and hype about major contract changes, along with a lot of talk about a strike to achieve them, as you know, while the contract had some concrete improvements, it fell well short of expectations. I'm afraid with O'Brien's first, the same thing may happen. Just a theory, hope I'm wrong

Always a win for the company. The signing bonus is one time. A raise stays with you forever.

Federal contractor minimum wage is $15/hr. UPS is a Federal contractor. Look it up.
