[QUOTE="area43, post: 253190, member: 4862"] Folks I have read the contract. Again I want to address the issue of the 6.1 billion. One poster had stated this before. 6.1 billion is 6,100 millions. Thats alot of cash. That's where the bennies went toooo. This time around the stakes were high. The Teamsters had a big tab, but no money. Part Timers, I feel sorry for you. I was a Part Timer for 2.7 years. I know it is very difficult work. I would wake up at 3:30 am every morning. Report time 4:00 am. I worked to about 8:00 am. I would then go home and take a power nap before I went to school. If I didn't I would be a walking Zombie. This was in 85. My starting pay was $8 an hour. I worked the unload for about a year. From there I went to the main sort(about 8 months). Then finished out the remainder of my pt time loading 2 metro trailors. Part timers, I believe you are payed sub-par wages. I also believe your wage increases could have been higher. Part Timers your higher wage increase could have went for the 6.1 billion buy out. We ft timers are going to have to start paying for our insurance. Pt insurance, what can you say about that. FT time pay progression has gotten longer. Lets face it. The 35 cents or more(health). Its going to happen. The Teamsters took a survey as to what was important to our members before the contract neg started. Pension and Health was the most important. Well, be careful what you wish for. Folks, when the Teamsters started neg. we were already down 6.1 billion. This has to be taken into account on why the contract and I will say it. Is not the greatest, but at least its not going the other way. It sometimes amazes me that the contract is based on the company doing well. Growth. What if the company goes south? Then what? Is that factored into the contract? Those sometimes dreaded Sales Leads. If we want the raises we are going to have more responsibilities placed on us. Can the Teamsters/UPS please everybody when it comes to the contract? As 804 said, "I don't have all the answers". 804, I Area 43 don't have them either. The future. What does it hold? [/QUOTE]
