Let me start by saying I have been with the company for over 20 yrs, 9 part time, 10 pkg driving and 1 year in feeders, now let me also say that I live in Pa but work in another state. Now my advice to you is instead of looking for more money from the company which by the way we wont be paying for healthcare, which 99.9% of working America does. So either take as is or they will just take the $9 increase and change the contributions and increase our hrly pay but put less into the Pension and Healthcare system, which in turn will reduce your pay raise cus now you WILL be paying for healthcare and our pensions wont be fully funded. So my advice to you is TAKE A HARD LOOK AT YOUR CHECK, LOOK AT THAT COLUMN TO THE RIGHT OF YOUR CHECK. This is called your WITHOLDING, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT IT as I think most Americans dont even know where this section is on their check. Now you tell me who you should go after for more money? Ad it all up the withholding, at the gas pump when you buy that car, groceries, house, clothes, property tax, state income tax, and the many others you encounter every day......for most of you, you are paying close to %40 in taxes a year and you dont even know it.
I myself as should everybody am fed up witht the Taxes and Double taxing. I came across a very good organization a year ago and it is called the Fair Tax. let me explain what I know for more info you can check out www.FairTax.org. First this is a consumption Tax you ONLY pay tax when you spend. Second you get your whole check, no withholding, for me that would be an additional $300 to $400 a week!. Third there will be no double taxing...Corporations would no longer pay taxes, eliminating embeded taxes in products which you and I buy, once a product is sold like a New Car or house a tax is paid once, whenthat house or car goes up for sale again NO TAX. Not to mention with no tax for corporations the economy is expected to grow by %10 in the first year, which means more business for UPS, which in turn means more jobs. Fourth Every body is eligible for an EXEMPTION which is based on How big your family is and how much you make, this ranges from the poor who under this plan would pay no tax to the very rich who would have a smaller exemption, to the middle class who would benefit the greatest under this plan lifting the burden off the middle class under the current plan.Fifth no taxes on saving period. And sixth every body pays now, even the criminals, the tax base is broader including everybody under this plan....Again for more info check out WWW.FAIRTAX.ORG
