Right on Gumby, every contract the union that works for the company tells impressionable workers how great the contract is. Definitely trying to rally the part time vote.
How will the new contract affect senior preload worker pay

Smart man. He doesn't want to trip on them at work.
You got a big job to do.
How long have you worked for and how much to you think you actually make an hour in total compensation?
I have a part timer who was hired in 1995 who is making 27.99 an our as I just saws it on his grievance form. He is 8 dollars and 36 cents off the top rate for a driver. Thats 9 years later by your formula.

Not my point. What does the person hired in 86 get for wages and compensation? So they have about 32 years in and are within a couple dollars of top driver rate. When I have 32 in, I’ll be 12-13 dollars an hour short of full scale with no catch up raises. The gap has widened. The pay and progression structure of part time is completely bs compared to full time. Yet all we hear about is 22.4 second tier.

Knew a guy who started in the early 70s. He still carries his original pay stub, made like 4.50 an hour. Still works everyday, on a cake route mind you with about 250 miles and 70 stops.

Well sounds like to me not even the PT workers like the 22.4 jobs. The union is going to have a hard time selling this one.
Can't wait to hear my local giving the Raw Raw speech at the contract meeting. 22.4 sounds like the worst job to have at UPS. Preloader/Driver two of the hardest jobs at UPS plus no real protection at all. With less pay then a FT driver. Yup I'm sure the negotiation team imagined droves of part-time workers lining up for it but just shows how out of touch they are.

Can't wait to hear my local give me the tired "we have to stay competitive" line. Like they work for UPS. They work for us. We will tell you when it's time to take concessions.
I don't even think my local is having a meeting. Nothing on the calendar for the local's website. Nothing before the contract expires, anyway.

same as u and me,
he just doesnt have to wade through the crap daily, he catches it in his pants!
Just curious.. what if we are part time already making over $15? Do we just stay at what we are making or do we get a raise to? Haven’t seen anything about the contract, just going on what I’ve heard at work. Not interested in going full time. I have my own business during the day.

Just standard raise for us snowflake, please vote no until there is a catch up raise for part timers. Thanks

How long have you been working? Idc as much about a catch up raise but I'd like to see an extra 50 cents thrown in or wage increases at least

No 9.5 protection, 8hr requests, set schedules. Set start times.
Only thing they are guaranteed is 8 hours and 5 consecutive working days.
I haven't seen this said anywhere. I would love for it to be true, but all I've seen is the starting rate is going up to $13. It would be fair to give all PT'ers a $2 raise. If true it would probably change my no vote to a yes vote.
Also a random thought I've had, is to have top pay for PT'ers that is equal to hybrid pay, that all Pt'ers eventually get through some kind of progression. I mean if they're going to pay hybrid's $20/hr to work preload, why can't they pay everyone that much? I would take a hybrid job if I could pass the DOT physical. So before someone says I should just go hybrid, that's why I can't.

Deranged lunatic
They are paying 22.4 $20 to deliver out of a package car. Do not convince yourself that they will be working inside for longer than an absolute minimum amount of time.
