Did you expect $52, $54/hr?  There seems to be this idea that our spending power is supposed to ever increase. That's an unreasonable assumption. The position stays the same meaning you aren't advancing through any ranks to justify a growing pay scale. UPS isn't obligated to advance pay faster than inflation when the position remains the same. Many people say we are way overpaid now. Imagine if over the years, UPS increased beyond inflation every year. Would we be at like $60/hr?</blockquote>
