Raise?

[smallsortguy]

I've been in small sort now for 6 months now, and call me greedy, but I'm looking forward to my first raise. Can anyone tell me if its based on merit, or if it is a standard amount? Thanks for your help.

It's a union position therefore not merit.

You have to dump 100 bags per hour to be considered for a payraise

To get the big raises some people cheat by starting in the primary and unload bags, someone should file a grievance on that

I agree...I think it's Article 18.5 under the NMA

All raises at UPS are based on height or length. Hope you have at least one of those.

Thanks for your reply. It told me EXACTLY what I needed to know.

You may get a raise if you sort in the small sort. A sorter, I believe, is a skilled position, so you should get a dollar/hour raise. Or was this changed in the last contract?

.35 an hour

.35 an hour

Apparently it is actually half of $.75/hr this year. Last year was $.70. I still do not know what the union and UPS will work out to cut $.75 in half!

You are correct. Who would have known that you can divide .75 in half. I just checked my contract and it reads Aug 2009 .375 cents an hour. Thanks Sleeve
