Bet you like a chubby cucumber or banana....
Yeah I hear ya. Honestly I'd rather have them put the money they put into my teamsters pension for me into my own 401k.

Revenue was down last quarter but profits was up 171%... i believe it was 1.3 billion dollars according to an article i recently read.
Last peak UPS stocks was trading at a record breaking high.
Come to think of it when was the last time UPS reported profits being down?
Think about this... some states are getting union members 15 per hour via Government before a labor union does. I can't see why we would settle for any less than 15 this contract.

Target to up its minimum hourly wage to $15 by the end of 2020
"Target Corp. said Monday it is raising the minimum hourly wage for its workers to $11 starting next month and then increasing it to $15 by the end of 2020.
The company said the move will help it better recruit and retain top-quality staff and provide a better shopping experience for its customers."
Good luck keeping any decent preloaders at $11.50/hr

Part timers will probably get some juicy stuff thrown in next contract to get them to vote for new driver pay cuts and PVDs.

I think part timers should get a huge raise I started in 1989 at $9.00 an hour so now it’s almost 30 years later and they are starting at 10 or 11$ an hour. Mabey making a offering of wanting to receive benefits and starting at 14$.00 an hour. Or opting out to no benefits and starting at 20.00$ to $25.00 an hour. Many new hires were like me when I started coming right out of high school and never even used the benefits I had until I got married

Our preloaders only make $10.20/hr. Not considered a skilled job anymore.
My preloader is worth about $2.95 an hour.

Our preload manager thinks that is all any of us are worth. Really brings out the employee's best effort.

We have several good preloaders. Mine is a brain dead stoner idiot who doesn't GAF.
That isn't what the contract says. Why hasn't your local fought that?

I don't know why the skilled wage was traded off for. Happened years ago. Years ago everyone on preload was paid skilled rate just to keep people.
That's what they've been doing here, but I think they're trying to crack down on it.
I'd hate to work in your building, though. Seems like your local just doesn't care.
Automation. They asked me to do small sort one night after my shift. What a joke. Let the scanner hit the barcode and the bin lights up.
No skill there.
Ironically enough, that job is given to article 22.3s who make 3 times what a new hire does per hour. God forbid we give them an extra dollar though...

The scanner is also slower and not as accurate as a skilled sorter. Same is true of a skilled preload sort aisle or boxline sorter. Old school were faster and more accurate then reading the PAL labels.
I knew the zips and where they went. Can't do that now. They cut so many routes, no way you could keep up with it.
