There are already two other threads on this topic.
We are getting 12 cents on August 1 based on the CPI-W Index which increased 4.1 percent. Not to be confused with the other CPI Index you may have seen in the news, that only increased 3.6 percent.
I just started a new thread on ups discussions regarding texting while driving and didn't get any message about having been prior ones. I'm sure there were but I started a new one anyway. Rules be dammed - new threads are fun.
Take what you can get. I've been with Parcel since 89 and this is only the 3'rd cola i've gotton. $.38 in 22 years isn't going to make you rich but every little bit helps. Plus if the buzz about capping new employees is correct you can bet it won't include a cola. Only those of us here now will be grandfathered in. Also in the machinists contract part timers don't get cola's now. I don't know if the teamsters are like that also.
