[QUOTE="pretender, post: 1083014, member: 1493"] My response was in reference to the 2013 contract negotiations--the increased contributions would have to be negotiated in exchange for the two tiered wage system. As I said, this is a touchy subject, and I am sure I am in the minority--but I don't see it as taking away from drivers when they have not even been hired yet. I remember years ago, just at the beginning of GM's problems, wondering how could they afford to pay the wages/benefits to their employees. Look where they are today. I live in a neighboring state to you, and in my city, GM barely has a presence any longer. Daily, I go by a one square mile area that used to be a stamping plant--It has been razed. For that matter, until a few years ago, my wife used to work for major company in the office furniture industry. She is now "retired" because they sent her job to Mexico. We never saw it coming, because she had a white collar job that she thought was safe. Maybe that is why I am a little paranoid--I just don't see how UPS can keep on paying the high wages and stay in business delivering packages. Quality and service are important, but they don't mean nearly as much as they used to. The bottom line is price... [/QUOTE]
