I disagree.
Signing bonuses are a trick, a shell game if you will, find the queen.
They will most definitely offer a signing bonus if it will get an issue to slide through.
Last one I saw attempted was in lieu of a raise for a specific year.
It amazed me how many people didn't see that they would be losing money in the long run.
IF YOU SEE A SIGNING BONUS OFFERED, LOOK FOR THE HOOK!!
IT IS A TRICK!!
Exactly. It is a BRIBE, pure and simple.
The thing is, most take the bribe.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
How about ALL new management all the way up to CEO get put on a two tier pay scale topping out at 2/3 of what their predecessors made.

It's both--I am not in favor of it but would vote "yes" to ensure the long term economic stability of the company.

UPS says that we make more than FedEx drivers and that is the main reason we can't keep customers...but nobody ever mentions that UPS management probably make much more than the average FedEx management person.

The savings would be neglible.
The UAW represents members who were working in a struggling industry, and certian concessions were necessary to keep their companies afloat and members employed. UPS is making plenty of money just as it has for 105 years. Why would any card carrying Teamster even consider making any concessions.
In between the changes to the MIP, cost sharing for benefits, etc. it is quite possible that is already the case.

In 2011 UPS paid the highest divedend ever $2.04 per share they are making money ! The past peak season internet sales were up 10% over the previous year,who shipped the packages ? Like the shareholders we are entitled to a little bit more.No give backs ! No concessions! The IBT member mind set should be more not less.

Lets negotiate on UPS making a profit of 6 BILLION this year in a recession...I think we have plenty of power at the table.

Hopefully you have the list of all the 'outgo' of money with expansions and all.......companies have expenses.

Well one thing is for sure, that outgo of money and these expansions don't include hiring more fulltime employees. We have not hired any new drivers in 3 years.
Thanks for the business lesson. Employees have expenses too. By the way, expenses are paid from net, what's left is called "profit" and UPS did just fine in this tough economy.

might be wrong but i think we will see a lot of the things i have read on this thread and then some.one thing i think we will see is no more benefits for new hired p/t people.ups can get anything passed regarding p/t people because they dont vote and union knows its a DRIVER DRIVEN contract.
