[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 3249358, member: 37112"] WDFD? Thanks for the primer on inflation, but he said since 1997 raises [B]haven't[/B] advanced this profession money-wise and raises have only served to keep "up" with inflation, which is inaccurate as wages in this unionized company have exceeded inflation by a fair amount (+15%). Most folks would agree that $36 bucks an hour is more than $31. I didn't respond to the benefit issue as that varies across the country. In my experience, the benefit package in my local is superior today than it was in '97. UPS FT's still earn an above average living, the main problem being the excessive/abusive time demands put on the workforce these days compared to '97. There's plenty of insufficiencies in contracts post '97. Putting wages or benefits in those columns is a stretch. [/QUOTE]
