[QUOTE="DS, post: 561642, member: 556"] Red, our collective agreement is up in 2010.We make about $3 less than you guys down there. I know a lot of you believe that we dont work as hard as you and in some cases it may be true,but for the most part,its the same job with the same issues.We have no over9.5 rule here as far as the OT rate goes,except that they want us to stay under 9.5.You could argue that our govt paid healthcare system would explain the pay difference,but we are taxed to the hilt,and our $ holds less value than the US$.When we had our one day strike in 2004,we were told to accept the offer or they would shut down all operations in Canada.(BS) but the tactic worked.In this next contract in my opinion,we would do best by asking for a pension guarantee instead of a substantial hourly wage increase.They have invested almost $100M in updating up here so they cant use the old threats again. ps I dont give a crap if I still have to buy ups logo socks.
