How about when the PTers and FTers got the same wage? Then the contract of 1981 came. UPS offered a signing bonus ($1000 to FTers and $500 to PTers to sign the new contract) to establish a two tier wage system, (which is where the $8 an hr. for PTers came into play) which I believe was overwhelmingly endorsed by us all.
I think UPS will offer a new signing bonus to get us to vote in their new contract. They can afford it.

Yeah, I remember we had pallets of them sitting around. I also remember one year when we delivered phonebooks, each one of them had a specific delivery address.
These were "Defined Areas", I think we still have them. My first route had four different ones on it, you had to start a new paper delivery record when you crossed into a different area. Two copies of each delivery sheet, one original and the other was a copy made with carbon paper. If the consignee wanted a receipt, we had to take out a second piece of carbon paper and make a third copy.

I remenber everyone being really disappointed when the $1,000 "bonus" check turned out to be about $665 after taxes.

When we would get phone books, we would have split cars with 150 stops of just phone books. This was back when we were on paper, and let me tell you, it's hard to sort and set up 150 phone books and have them stay in the order you sorted them.

Now driving a Sterling
AVon--300360. P400's that went faster when you applied the brakes. P500's with the soft coil spring suspension(low to the ground steps). At least 3 pens- one in use, one warming in the rh chest pocket, and one in the back in reserve. And when you broke a pen in, making sure you kept that pen. Bankers clasps that would work as weapons. Running an extended route, and leaving the small town with over 10 g's in your pocket.....
