[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3000520, member: 14176"] We get that, but what we don't get is why that door was ever opened? Split raises were never a part of any contract until the past couple. Now we fear they will be part of every contract going forward. If UPS agreed to these split raises, they saved money in the end. What's next, "bigger" raises every other year? I'll say it again, UPS has shown no signs of having reached the apex in their market, why should we accept any concessions, of any type? The last contract was a prefabricated backroom deal, sold on lies, nondisclosure, deception, and half-truths that backfired in historically epic proportions and was eventually [U][B][I]imposed[/I][/B][/U]. That word still stings. While we hope for better days going forward, most of us are guarded in our expectations, with some exhibiting no trust at all. Can you honestly blame us when all the same people will be sitting at the table, having only played musical chairs? [/QUOTE]
