Then why would I have the building manager, other long term employees, my union rep, and others telling me I’m contractually owed $21/hr?

Shouldn't need to file a grievance because the dispute is between UPS payroll and city law (?) . File a complaint with city attorney. Or the Union should.

Thank you for this, I feel like you’re the only one who really understands what’s going on

If you only have 1 more month for insurance you might as well stick around and take advantage of them.

You can file a grievance stating state law and ask for penalty pay.

It’s the whole reason I started at UPS. I just hope I can get my wage to being a livable one again.

Because sadly they don't know what they are talking about. Everyone is under the assumption that the MRA was a permanent raise.

Should I also do that for them not notifying any of the employees too?

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Do you think there’s a possibility I can get them to put me back at $21 since they didn’t notify me and also paid me minimum wage? Or should I just take the penalty pay?

There is no California labor law that I'm aware of that prohibits a company from reducing a employees compensation. I also know of no contractual language saying they have to give you warning that they are removing the MRA.

I'd say it's near impossible that you'll go back to $21 an hour unless UPS does another MRA.

friend* me. Thanks for all the help. I might tough it out at UPS for the benefits. I’m due for a raise soon too anyway. And if I’m completely honest I do pick off on the slowest belt in the hub and I don’t think that that’s worth $21/hr anyway ;p worst case I’ll get two jobs I guess.

Get another job to tide you over. UPS is testing the waters right now in my opinion. I think a MRA may come back and don't forget the contract is right around the corner as well.

Talk to the Union, talk to a labor lawyer, hope for the best but plan for the worst.

How long have you worked for UPS? Are you a driver? Full time or part time?

Thank you so much for all of your help

Also if my hub does strike, do you think I should join in? Or not worth the potential loss of a job?

I'm a driver. Been with UPS for a long time. Did 9 years preload before driving.

We have all been there. Used to take sometimes 10 years of working PT before you got a chance at a FT job. Now you only need to work 6 months in some locations.

You always honor a strike and sit your ass out on the picket line or find some other work but never.... NEVER cross the picket line.
