[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 367873, member: 12570"] COLA is designed to increase our base wage if the cost of living index reaches or surpasses a predetermined figure. However, as has been stated, this is a national contract and, as such, there should be one uniform wage, whether you live in LA or Backwater, AR. It is a purely personal decision where one chooses to call home. There are far too many variables in that decision to discuss here. Corporations also have to decide where they want to call home. Have you ever noticed that most credit card companies call Delaware or South Dakota home? I have been told that it has something to do with the laws in these states. Why do you think UPS chose to move to Hotlanta? It was a purely business decision as the cost of living is much, much lower than CT. My daughter recently moved to western NC 45 min west of Raliegh/Durham. Beautiful area and much, much cheaper than NY. Getting back to this thread, IMO it would not be fair to adjust the COLA based upon zip codes. You knew the wage when you were hired and could then determine if that wage would satisfy your standard of living. If so, great--if not, either increase your income or lower your expenses. It's that simple. [/QUOTE]
