[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1314224, member: 22760"] Yeah GREAT Contract compared to previous ones. [SIZE=5][B][URL='http://makeupsdeliver.org/wall-street-analyst-ups-got-a-cheap-deal/']Wall Street Analyst: UPS got a cheap deal[/URL][/B][/SIZE] hall promised, “The more they make, the more we take.” But Wall Street analysts say UPS will save $500 million in labor costs under the weak contract imposed by Hoffa and Hall. Wolfe Research, specializing in analysis of the transport industry, has this to say about the new contract: “UPS’s new 5-yr labor contract with the Teamsters is finally set to take effect on Fri. and we believe it’s a [B]good deal for UPS, with only ~3% annual wage inflation versus ~4% in its past 2 contracts[/B].” The analysis continued: “UPS announced after the market on Thursday that its new five-year labor agreement with the Teamsters (which was approved on a national level in June of 2013) will go into effect today (Friday) after the national negotiating committee voted to override the last three chapters that had been holding out for supplemental amendments. We estimate wages and benefits for full-time employees will increase by a compounded average of about 3.4% annually over the five years of the contract, [COLOR=#ff0000][B]below 4.1% in the prior two deals in ‘08 and ‘02[/B].
