[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1135819, member: 11315"] The bottom line is that they shook hands on the new contract. Even if it went back to the bargaining table, you add a $1 more to starting pay, it's coming out of something. PENSION ? HEALTHCARE ? RAISES ? The union agreed with UPS on how much more UPS will give to its employees for the next 5 years. I was PT for 6 years so I know that the contract favors the employees that made it to the summit, and not the ones climbing that mountain. UPS needs to stay competitive with FedEx and make a profit. Bottom Line ! UPS will not be around for long if its paying PT $15 an/hour to start. Kiss that dream goodbye. They need a cheaper PT labor force to compete and now they need cheaper drivers to take FedEx out. I'm not taking a copy of the contract and framing it in my trophy room, but reality states that this is the NEW price of union employment. [/QUOTE]
