Mechanics to McConnell: UPS execs got raises, but we didn't - Louisville Business First

The executive leadership at United Parcel Service Inc. has received raises in recent years, but the company's airline mechanics haven't. And several large companies — AT&T, Comcast, Fifth Third Bank and others — recently gave raises to their employees in the wake of federal tax reform.

Timothy Boyle, president of Teamsters Local 2727, which represents airline mechanics, made note of those facts in a recent letter to U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The union represents nearly 1,300 mechanics who work for Louisville-based UPS Airlines, about half of whom are in Kentucky.

Boyle said he wrote the letter (linked here) because he wants to sit down with McConnell and talk about when more middle class workers — such as those represented by Teamsters 2727 — will see a benefit from tax reform.
