[QUOTE="SameRightsForAll, post: 4092081, member: 10588"] Because a raise is always the core of every contract, and it was guaranteed to be there if we have a union at all, and therefore UPS got away without paying the raise for ~9 months and counting. While you might argue that we aren't guaranteed a raise that hasn't been negotiated yet and that the money wasn't ours until UPS actually paid it, I don't think you're prepared to apply this logic and rule more broadly. This money is also invested by many employees in the 401K and stock programs. They could have bought more stock with the raise which might have benefitted UPS more than holding onto the money in an act of greed. You seem to be the type that would be ok if UPS announced tomorrow that the backpay is no longer valid due to company cutbacks because, after all, you were never guaranteed the raise. After 9 or 10 months, why not just forfeit the raise back to the company, right? [/QUOTE]
