[QUOTE="msbusterbrown, post: 5165112, member: 97847"] “tells us that the week PRIOR our wages were lowered from $21/hr to $16.10/hr. Not only did UPS not contact anyone in any way to notify us of the change, but the cities minimum wage raised to $16.20 the first of this month and they’re paying us $16.10. The guy said that they had organized a protest the next day from 7am-10am. He also said that they filed a grievance, and if they don’t restore the wages then we will “consider it a strikeable offense.” I wasn’t able to go to the protest but I know that by the end of the day no progress was made and about 100 people were there. Me and one other loader checked upsers.com and it said our rates were $17.50, but two other coworkers’ paystubs did indeed say $16.10.” ^Which of this doesn’t sound like a violation? It’s against the LAW (and the contract) to reduce wages below minimum wage. Also against the LAW (and the contract) to retroactively reduce wages when they thought they were working for a wage previously agreed upon. Article 8 S 2 c (c) nonpayment of established wage rates provided for in this Agreement, Supplements, Riders and/or Addenda. Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, walkouts or lockouts over disputes, which do not arise under provisions of this National Mas- ter Agreement, shall be permitted or prohibited as provided in the applicable Supplement, Rider and/or Addendum. The Local Union shall give the Employer a seventy-two (72) hour prior written no- tice of the Local Union’s authorization of strike action, [/QUOTE]
