[QUOTE="R. Mutt, post: 3753781, member: 74425"] I was looking at the base wage out here ($10.15/hr) when I made this post but decided to look at the language further and do the math. As much as it pains me, I'll save everyone the nitty gritty but [USER=18708]@UnconTROLLed[/USER] is right. We'd have to have over 4% inflation reflected in the consumer price Index in a given year over the previous just to qualify for a 5¢ COLA. I don't know why the base wage is at least $10.15 most everywhere (the math works out to 15¢ over the 4 year period, but zilch year to year) but nothing suggests they can't pay more than the contractual base wage. In this case it's more of a bait and switch. Just another example of UPS denying the reach around while we get :censored3:ed but I'm used to it by now and I like the fight. It's fun being the instigator when I know I have the right, no dice here. Guess I'll just have to wait for a real contract violation to grieve. :whiteflag: Thanks for the input, everyone. [/QUOTE]
