Contract changes due to one of our biggest hubs going on strike. On strike for less than 4 hours before UPS HAD to "bow down" to demands. One of them was a raise for part-timers that involved an $.85 (cent) raise, also known as "Cost Of Living". What you will also notice different, come your 3rd year (hire date, 3 years ago), instead of you receiving the mandatory raise of $.50 (cent), you will only see an increase of $.15 (once again, cent) in your paycheck.
Louisville is the central heart of this whole company. It is SOOOO large, a package from one end of the building to the other travels 3.85 miles. Along with a train that runs right through it for frieght and it is also totally computerized. Look at a label the next time, and I'm not talking for sake misload, misorting, etc. There is a "bulls-eye" looking graphic on it that is read by the computers mainly in this hub, then transferred to appropriate belts, not by man but by computer.
