[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1272852, member: 17969"] It doesnt have to say anything about our contract. Its the law. I already replied to you on this subject, but the mods felt it better to protect you by not posting it so Ill explain it to you again. Our CONTRACT is not law. Its an agreement. Our contract cannot ever violate state law. Case and point. Here in california, we used to be able to skip our lunches or take them whenever we wanted. We could work all day and then take our lunch late in the day waiting for pickups to start. This VIOLATED state law, and UPS was sued for this. The ruling was very clear, no matter what our contract stated was the lunch rules, we could never violate state law. Lets say for example, in california, our contract didnt include a raise for parttimers, and they stayed at 8.50 an hour starting wage. Here in california, minimum wage will go to 10 bucks an hour in just a few months. Do you think UPS could get away with paying less than the states minimum wage just because its in our contract? TOS.
