Is this indication of future raises? Lagarde Spurns ECB Staff Plea for Pay Rises Linked to Prices

I think this is an indication that we are about to get screwed. I’ve been saying for at least a month that we need language in the contract that ties raises to the inflation rate. Otherwise we get poorer and poorer.

Obviously this article shows that the companies have a huge advantage. They want to keep our wages the same or with a slight increase while they raise prices for the customer. Then they pocket record profits.

It's a mixed bag
We did have some good contracts where are raises has outpaced inflation and raise the standard of living for us.
But most of us have not been around during a rising inflation rate and unfortunately the company cannot give us 10% raises to keep up with inflation.

When the tide goes out you can see who has been swimming naked. “Corn up”.

We have COLA language in our Contract, we will find out how much soon.

The Company will be looking at three cost factors in 2023:

A. GWI...generally close to a dollar an hour over a five year contract.

B. Health and Welfare costs...about 2,000 a month for a full timer, part timers slightly lower.
It usually goes up .50 an hour annually.

C. (Pensions)....They run about 500 a week for those full timers under a monetary benefit pension plan. It increases the same as the H/W contributions .50 an hour annually.

All that adds up to roughly 2.00 cost increases for most of our membership. The only cost saving measure I see that the Company will be going after in the 2023 contract talks will be the pension. Probably will go the route similar to what they did with their management plans, 401k match ... I am guessing that they will be trying to eliminate the part timers pension plan for those under the Central and Southern.

Talked to a FEDEX driver last week. They gv him the option of pension or 401k. We both agreed pension is……. You see the markets being exposed. Play long game.

We make good money and if anybody says we don't. Then they have a problem. I would like a 4-day work week if it goes to 50 hours that's fine as long as I get three days off in a row I'd be very very happy to keep the rate of pay we have. I also don't have an $80,000 truck sitting in the parking lot 12 hours a day. In Florida we don't have a lot of taxes that everybody else has. We have some very nice vehicles we have some good things in life. I'm good with the pay maybe a quicker pension and retirement a little bit more on it that's it for me. Also I make about 1500 a month in 9/5

So let me get this straight.
UPS has no problem paying you an extra 1500 a month
Which is about 9$ an hour extra
But they say they cant raise our pay?

This is 10% right here folks. They can pay us

I'm a 22.4 driver doing the same job as you for less pay and more stops. Not all drivers have good pay.

 

[RMR46]

I work my ass off I have a mental dispatcher. I gave up complaining. So I do my lunch about 10:30 11:00 and cruise the rest of the day. Some days I take an extra 15 minutes so out of my pay and get about an hour and 15 minutes for lunch

You will

 

[kforte36]

Maybe.

What? Do you think you deserve equal pay for equal work?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Maybe.

Lol it’s not a maybe, longest anyone has been 22.4 in my building is 18 months. If you have people quit retire or go to feeders or if there’s more than 25% you need to file a grievance. They cannot reduce the number of RPCDs

Maybe not but the company can increase the number of 22.4

I can’t speak for everywhere but it’s definitely not the same job. Here most of them have not even drove this year they been working in the building except Saturday’s different classification. Poorly written article for sure.

You should educate yourself on how negotiations work
You obviously have no clue

When you stop taking regular package car work from people helping the company at your benefit then you can chime in.
