[QUOTE="homer123, post: 249948, member: 11818"] Hey Rocky...glad to see you're back. I started in 1977 & you're correct, there were contracts by districts & contracts were for 3 years. On another thread I explained how UPS'ers (only) in my local were moved from Western States conference to CS. Some recall a voting to do so (with endorsements from IBT) I was new & had no clue about what was going on. To this date, in my local only UPS people are in CS, everyone else, including local officials are in WS. Also, UPS contracts followed National Master Freight contracts, so what ever NM got, UPS later got. There one contract where, I believe in would have been around 1980, because NM was struggling & their contract basically remained the same (no improvements) we got the same (no improvements) with the exception of about 25cents to H/W. Another interesting point is that wage progression was about 4 months not 3 years. Once attaining seniority I started a $1.00 less than top pay and got a 25 cent/hour raise per month. At the time in our district top pay was $6.76. (We've come along way baby, except for wage progression.) While I could also be wrong, I think the national UPS contract was around 1983-85. When I started in 1977, UPS had yet to include all of Texas. Texas would allow INTERSTATE UPS but not INTRASTATE UPS. I think it was 1979-80 before that was all done. Anyone remember an 11 state wildcat strike in the east coast in 1977 or 78? Ahhh...the good old days. Maybe I should change my handle to old friendt. Thanks again.:lol: [/QUOTE]
