[QUOTE="quamba 638, post: 1136654, member: 46468"] Not everyone is going to be happy with certain parts of this TA. UPS hasn't bumped the starting wage in what? 30 years? Do you actually think they're doing it as a favor to us? No. It's because minimum wage will be past the 8.50 mark in a lot of states before this contract is up. Example: Minnesota just approved at minimum wage increase from 7.25 to 9.50. Then 2.5 percent each year after that I believe. 8.50 an hour in 1980 is around 23.00 an hour in today's playground. My point is, don't act like the company is "giving" to us with this pt pay increase. It's time has come. I also won't be getting any wage increase (bump) as a pt employee.. But I'm not working here pt for the money. The increases they are giving pt employees is nothing to scoff at though. My FT job offers a maximum of .60 a year (performance based). Also, my pt supervisor at UPS only received a .30 cent raise. So the money isn't my concern. It's the insurance. [/QUOTE]
