[QUOTE="Pollocknbrown, post: 253465, member: 10632"] No i will not vote yes, just because your in a cushy situation doesnt mean the rest of us are, how do u think you got there? by others caring about the future UPSers, not being self-fish and voting yes on a less than acceptable contract. Yes 4 dollars over 5 years is nice, however for a PTer, they are losing on avg, 200 bux a year with the split raises (assuming a 20 hr work week) for the life of the contract. 200 dollars may not seem like alot of money to the drivers who are making that in about 7 hrs of work, but 200 bux a year, is alot to us when we are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet (im not complaining about that im just stating it). The lack of job creation for the 22.3s (although i'd rather have a driving job especially a feeder position which is the easiest position to get into in my HUB (about 3-5 yr wait, 10+ for pkg, and even greater for 22.3)). The subcontracting as well, if worked right with the company, if this deal goes through when they pull trailers off the rails will almost assuredly go to subcontractors and they will bust their A***s to keep them there. So when you say your going to vote in your best interests, think about this, you didn't get where you are today by the voters before you voting in their best interests solely.
