[QUOTE="Moneythehardway, post: 3717771, member: 18136"] If at any time we should prosper with this company it is now! DO NOT SETTLE! I know you hear this a lot but the PROFITS (After all drivers, management, shareholders, fuel, trucks, rent, expansions, expenses etc are paid ) are over 6 BILLION dollars a YEAR. That is PROFIT after ALL BILLS/Employees, healthcare, pensions etc are paid! This is just free money sitting in their accounts, why can't we the workers profit share as they increase? Secondly forget about just seeing the profits, you can see within your own building how much volume has increased over the years, we have more consistent work and way less slow days so the proof is there that the company is prospering, so why should WE, the members stay stagnant, in one place? $13 an hour starting for part-timers for a UNION job for the next 5 years? When some states are and will be implementing MINIMUM wages higher than our starting wage? If you say yes to this you are SETTLING! Last contract, UPS got away with no catch-up raise for current part timers, so they see the members SETTLED for it so they are doing it again. DO NOT SETTLE! Stand up for yourselves! And know that anything worth having will take a fight and won't be easy but will be possible. But do not slump your heads and SETTLE for what you are worth! [/QUOTE]
