[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 689592, member: 5831"] Concessions usually come when a company is LOSING money. We made over $2 BILLION despite a bad economy. Not what it used to be sure, but still very profitable. We did give our pension over to UPS which is what UPS wanted. UPS does not do anything unless they plan on making money off of it. Sure they paid $6 BILLION to get it but they will no doubt make tons of money off it. We also went from a final raise of $1 per hour in the last contract down to .70 cents in the first year of this one. It was also cut into 2 with half of our raise held for 6 months allowing UPS to pocket those savings. In fact every single raise in this contract is smaller than the last raise of the past contract. All the raises are below 3% as well I might add. They are all between 2.4% and 2.9%. In fact they are some of the smallest percentage raises I have witnessed in 20 years. We gave UPS another 6 months of progression for drivers. Now a full year longer than it was 2 contracts ago. UPS saving a bunch of money on that. Part-timers now must wait 12 months for benefits and their family waits 18 months when the whole family used to get benefits after about 4 months before. UPS saving millions on that one alone. This does not even mention how part timers over the last 2 or 3 contracts went from 1 year to get option days to 3 plus years as it is now. The part-timers also do not get any paid holidays their first year anymore either. We, as I have been told, will no longer get any more years of service gifts nor any years of safe driving gifts anymore either. Just a lame cardboard plack. We also went from a holiday turkey, to a holiday turkey gift certificate, to "poof" nothing. We also saw the safe driving/safe work reward breakfast/dinner cookouts stopped as well. Our overtime was taken and given to helpers and golf cart helpers this past peak too. So IN FACT we have been giving concessions back to UPS one way or another. I would have taken even smaller raises in return for better use of vacation time like single days off like an option 4 per say. [/QUOTE]
