[QUOTE="TheWeasel, post: 5240710, member: 93472"] That would be great. I just want whatever wage increase decided on for PTers to [I]actually be given when the contract is ratified. [/I]The company/union boasted that they got PTer's $15/hr starting. [B]No![/B] It was $13/hr that rose to $15 over five :censored: years, but after inflation new hires have no more purchasing power now than they did back in 2018. And it really screwed over anyone hired after the cutoff date by disqualifying them from the GWI. Someone hired in 2018 peak should be at $17.03/hr this coming August, but will be earning $1.5/hr less because they were stuck in the new hire "progression". Come 2023 if the Union negotiates $20 starting then, full stop, it needs to be $20. Not $17.50 rising to $20 over the course of the contract. $20, starting August 1st, and then GWI or whatever wage progression afterwards. UPS has been paying plenty of centers $18.5-21/hr [I]starting[/I] for the greater part of a year now and they've had record breaking profits. There is no excuse for them to not keep it at that level or higher going forward. [/QUOTE]
