[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 710134, member: 12570"] Wage progression was changed in the last contract. The starting pay was lowered to $16.10. The first raise is when the employee gets his seniority ($17.25), the second at 12 months ($18.45), the third at 24 months ($20.75) and the final at 36 months will put them at top rate, which is currently $29.65/hr. The progression is longer and the wages during that progression are lower but the end result ($29.65) is certainly worth the wait. To put it all in perspective, Kobe Bryant just signed a 3 yr contract extension for $90M. $30M/season to play a game. There's something wrong with this picture. I will be the first to say that a $10-12/hr wage differential between UPS and Express is unfair but I will also be the first to say that equal wages for unequal work would also be unfair. I would think a top rate of $25/hr with a comparable benefit package would be fair IMO. [/QUOTE]
