[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 770336, member: 9500"] As JonFrum pointed out, that's the language in the contract that the Company agreed to. Your original post made it sound as if the Teamsters demanded an inferior wage for future part-timers when in fact it was the Company that seemed to think that we could attract a better UPSer by offering less money than you could make at the McDonald's near my house and withholding benefits for a year. Now I've always said that UPS is the kind of job that pays off in the long term but that's getting pretty ridiculous! I think the Company would be pretty smart to notify the Teamsters that "Hey, we might have screwed up on that whole wage/benefit thing for the part-timers. Seems we let that jerk-off Bob run the numbers and he was just trying to polish his own crown for the higher ups. We're going to bump that up to a more competitive wage so we get some real quality people looking at UPS as a career since it's pretty hard for the average Joe-off-the-street to go from Christmas hire to Driver anymore. We'll go ahead and extend benefits after 6 months like we used to since we went ahead and included domestic partners a while back while ignoring the people who are actually breaking their backs for us every day". Of course, that's just my opinion. I think your real estate argument doesn't hold a lot of water either. I won't pretend to be an expert on real estate but I notice quite often that property around my city goes for significantly more than the original asking price. I could see where someone went through the negotiations as you expressed and then in the "final communications" said "You know Bob, I see that you put a lot of extras in that backyard shop you've got there. I'm really liking that whole machine shop setup you've got back there. How about I throw another $20k cherry on top and you just leave it all as-is?" [/QUOTE]
