Sorry bud, but I don't think the retro applies to you since you didn't gain seniority before August 1st. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but that's what my shop steward said.
Question about the new contract pay?

The progression rates are different for you, however you'll get no less than and in most cases more than new hires after 8/1/13. Since you were hired prior to 8/1/13 you'll get the .70 (GWI) increase on top of your existing progression rate, when the agreement is fully ratified. You're entitled to retro pay as is every employee who has attained seniority on or before 8/1/2013. This language is in Art 22 Sec 5 of the National Master (yet to be ratified) Agreement.

What's going to happen to all the people who have come and gone since last August? Is UPS going to actually mail them a check for the back pay?

UPS will forward a check to the address that they have on record which is why it is so important to make sure that your personal contact information is up to date. This can be done through the link on upsers. If UPS does mail a check and it is returned I have to think that it would be turned over to the state and treated like any other unclaimed funds.
I hope that they will direct deposit these funds and will give us adequate notice as to the deposit date so that we can take steps to reduce the tax hit.

I believe you must be a current employee to receive the retro checks. When you quit you forfeit any future or past raises. We are still working under the old contract.

It is not that big of a deal, you get it back at the end of year. I know people will say "You are suppose to only get back a little", but I like that chuck of change at the end of year, and that extra $.23 in interest is not going to make or break me.

This is 100% untrue.
The term "retro" is short for "retroactive" which means all FT seniority hourlies who worked on or after August 1, 2013, will receive a check for $.70/hr for all hours worked at the regular rate and $1.05/hr for all hours worked at the overtime rate, regardless of whether you are still working here or not. I don't know what the PT raises will be but the principle is the same.

When I go on vacation I zero out my 401k contributions and change my W-4 to 9 to get the maximum out of those checks.

You tinker with that a lot. I just let it ride throughout the year.

I normally take home $700/week. This week I had two checks totaling $2K. The extra $600 allowed me to pay off in full the new fridge I ordered last week.

I know retirees can continue to access upsers for 6 months---I'm not sure about those who separated or were terminated.

Cool..different strokes for different folks. That is why there is more than one item on the menu.

Management retirees can access indefinitely.
I know some retired more than 10 years who still access.
Don't know about Teamster retirees.
I've been out for nine months and can still get on.

Going to have to disagree with you on this. Sorry it took so long to get back. Just got off after driving Saturday air and doing pick ups. Then coming home to finish shoveling snow. Can you imagine the logistics of trying to track down all the thousands of seasonal and others who only stayed a few weeks or months. Maybe tens of thousands. Just for a $20.00 or $30.00 check.

Seasonals will not be entitled to retro pay.
I am talking about employees on the books as of 1 August who retired, separated or were terminated. Any hours worked by those employees on or after 1 August will be multiplied by $.70 or $1.05 to determine their total retroactive paycheck (less taxes).

I would agree an employee who retires would receive the retroactive pay. I work at a medium (?) size hub in the Midwest and I see new faces all the time. I can't believe UPS would try to send a retroactive pay check to all the employees who only lasted weeks or even made seniority and have left between Aug 1 and whenever the contract is settled. If ex employee went thru the union to force the issue? Well then maybe.
