[QUOTE="Just A UPS Guy, post: 5659721, member: 73174"] In all fairness, you have to keep in mind what "historic" refers to. With the amount of changed language and the length of improvements it really is, when compared to previous contracts, really since the 80s. A 48% improvement to starting wage, regardless of area standards, is a historic improvement. $7.50 over the life of the contract is a historic total. A/C and getting UPS to dismantle the two-tier system of 22.4s is historic. Not that I don't get your point, or even agree with you at a fundamental level, I'm just saying it's all relative. $7.50 is about 18% and underwhelming, especially with only 6.5% up front, but I get it with the PT improvements. Also, we've yet to see the HWP package. Either way, there are 340k votes and that many opportunities to express an opinion. [/QUOTE]
