[QUOTE="imwell, post: 3617739, member: 27245"] Nationally, the average pay increase that companies are giving their employees is just about 3%. Some of my sources can be found here: [URL="https://www.kiplinger.com/article/business/T012-C000-S002-the-outlook-for-pay-raises-in-2017.html"]The Outlook for Pay Raises in 2017[/URL] and here: [URL="http://work.chron.com/average-salary-raise-percentage-17983.html"]The Average Salary Raise Percentage[/URL] Our 1st year raise (70 cents) will only be a 1.93% pay increase. Absolutely unacceptable !!! The following 4 years of pay increases will be: 2.03%, 2.12%, 2.33%, and 2.53%. Again, completely unacceptable! UPS is a well off, growing, and very profitable company. Combine that with a very robust economy, and significant federal tax cuts, there is absolutely NO GOOD REASON that we should expect, and accept, nothing less than a $1.09 (3%) pay raise the 1st year along with 3% increases to that the remaining 4 years. There are several other items that can, and will, cause me to vote NO on this proposed contract. But keeping it Real and Up-Front, I work to live. So, one of the 1st things I look at in a new contract proposal are the pay increases (my "living" wage) This one, in my opinion, completely misses even the minimal benchmark. I will vote NO. [/QUOTE]
