[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 252535, member: 5831"] Well there are two points here. First of all what they are saying is that now they will not pay for benefits for a full 12 months now and 18 months for spouse and children, yet the reward is zero improvement to the starting wage and only an extra 50 cent bump to the 90 day raise! So in fact for 3 months at $8.50, and 9 months at $9.50, it is only an $8.50-$9.50 per hour job with no benefits, no holiday pay, no vacations, no sick days, no disability coverage, no life insurance and no increase to the chart rates of pay for air driving either by the way. So UPS is saving a TON OF MONEY for the first 12 to 18 months of every new part timer! So if the $14 per hour you qoute is true, please supply verification, then why are we not voting NO and raising the starting pay to $10 and a $2 raise at one year? They are saving $14 per hour for 12 months and a good portion of that for another 6 months so the increases I speak of should be more than offset. The second thing is that we can not get, much less keep people working at UPS part time so how in the hell does delaying the benefits and adding a sparse 50 cents at 90 days going to help. In fact it will only make things worse! We gave away their sick days for their first 3 YEARS with UPS in the last contract as well as lengthed the progression for full time top out by 6 months! Now we are lenghtening it another 6 months to 36 months! [/QUOTE]
