[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 770309, member: 14596"] First off, Crowbar, I am not picking on you, just happened to pick your post to reply to this idea of "minimum" that several people have mentioned on this thread and in others in the past on the board. Now, to all those bringing up the point that the pay in the contract is just the minimum, and UPS can voluntarily pay more any time it wants, please stop. You sound like idiots when you say that. Don't believe me? Consider this, the pay scales in the contract are a business agreement negotiated between UPS and the bargaining unit employees (through their representative the teamsters). Like any other business agreement. So, try this. Next time you are planning to move, and you go to sell your house, after all the negotiating is done with your realtor, the buyer, their realtor, and the final communications are going back and forth, I want you to tell your buyer "now, this price we have agreed on is only a minimum, you can pay me more if you want, and if you really cared about me you would, you can afford it" Try it. I would be willing to bet every one involved will look at you as though you sound like and idiot. [/QUOTE]
