[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5310121, member: 93115"] [B]$8.50 an hour was the starting wage at UPS until April 24, 2014 with no retention bonus[/B] when the 2013 CBA was declared ratified (over the objections of many locals).

So someone that started many, many years before you is barely making more than you do off the street--which has been a huge contention and in fact does cause hard feelings: imagine what those that have had to live through watching people off the street valued more or essentially equal to them dollar wise feel like after putting in years of blood and sweat.
