[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1133234, member: 43436"] It's a contract that will push the average FTer to about $100,000 annually, making them among the top 5% of all wage earners -- and by far the highest paid menial workers -- in the country, in addition to no-cost benefits & the retention of an actual pension. If you're FT, quite honestly, I don't know what you expected. $50/hour and a maximum of 100 stops/250 packages (whichever was higher) per day? Might as well hope for Kate Upton to come to each center and perform lap dances ... Quite honestly, I doubt UPS had any interest in giving a $3.90 raise in addition to absorbing all future health care increases -- most likely the threat of its largest consumers walking played its hand. I think if the Teamsters pushed harder, UPS would play hard ball. You probably got their best contract without striking, which would have devastating effects on the company and our union (hello, Eastern Airlines ... well, not that bad...) [/QUOTE]
