[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 724724, member: 9789"] The series of lawsuits were only California. This was one of the reasons that the Pacific Region was shrunk to just California and Hawaii for a couple of years. California has a very high standard when it comes to protection of employee rights (which I throughly agree with). What you might be referring to was the ripple affect that spurred action in other areas of the country. California law trumps the contract. For example, if the California minimum wage was $8 an hour and a UPS contract indicated a wage for a loader of $6 an hour then the California law would supersede the contact. Usually an addendum or supplement to the National Contract is written in such a way as to include state laws. Where it gets dicey, is dealing with those (such as management or administrative) employees who are salaried. I have some knowledge of this because I was called on to bring expert testimony for the company after I retired. However, I live in Arizona and California could not force me to appear even with a subpoena! I would not testify in court against former employees of mine. [/QUOTE]
