What would you like to see in the next contract?

[jumpman23]

Freak a dam scratch. But ill try n get my miles up to plan halfway decent, but honestly I really don't give a rats ass about their fakeazz numbers lol. Itll be what itll be partner. Kinda the mentality you really have to have anymore really.

Yeah, Im very lucky, I got a full time job when I was 21. So almost 9 full time years already and Im feeling those "runner years already. Anytime I meet a retiree on my route, I make sure I shake their hand and chat em up. Lots of respect for those 30+ year guys.

I wonder what percentage of members even know what that is. It's in our constitution, and again I wonder the same.

If even 25% did this in each job classification, it would be infectious. When the members only worry about themselves, it's easy to be intimidated. I call it divide and conquer. Take only one person under your wing, and everyone picks Someone else and it can happen!

Agreed! For how long it takes now for them to create another full time job, the part timers need to be rewarded for sticking it out so freakin long.

I got that, but you did bring up a good point.

The funny thing is, I bet most preload and hub managers would agree with a $15.00 an hour starting wage just to get some quality employees who will stay past the first day. Why not? UPS are paying PT sups that kind of money to do the same work and paying double shifters anywhere from $15/hr to $45/hr to fill in.

I cannot believe their are posters on here that recognize ups standards and numbers. Do you know what being in a union means? What if a UMWA was held to the standards of underground mine. How about a union painter on a scaffle painter on bridge, should he be held to apaint stroke standard. A steel worker, iron worker. Being in a union is about quality not quantity. Respect for a customers, not throwing them a diad board, and running out the door like an idiot, service people. Do what you can do safely. Stay relaxed, there isnt anything on that package that can eat you. Our customers are our best weapons, they see us not bean counters in Atlanta. We make this company money, and just got a great contract for it (joke)

If ups wanted to pay their people this the contract doesn't stop them. The wages in the contract are at a minimum. Ups could pay more at any time if need be. The reality is people line up to work here so they work with that.

If people are lining up to get a job at UPS why are people double shifting all the time?

I think it's different by area. I always see long lines of people walking though the building where I'm at in some kind of orientation.

I also see many new guys...just walk out in the middle of the shift and never come Back!
