[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5543477, member: 93115"] Inflation is up 6% so to keep up with just inflation (not to be rewarded for work and expertise in helping make UPS the most profitable its ever been over the course of the last contract)....you take your wage and multiply by 1.06. I think the company would jump and run to sign that contract proposal. inflation is expect to slowly decrease to 4% by year's end--but it rose from Dec and Jan (to Feb which reflects the current information). Negotiating just on inflation is dumb as it doesn't reflect what the workers have done to make the last contract the most profitable ever for UPS. PS....actually heated/ventilated seating is a smart solution to a heating/cooling need on a truck that takes frequent stops with doors opening making AC difficult to implement. Surface losses to outside ambient temperature are slower than air losses. It's common sense...but the retrofitting costs on current equipment---better chance of getting 365 pairs of UPS branded socks paid for per person. [/QUOTE]
