[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3673253, member: 49065"] How is it that a clerical position is not considered a skilled position, they must of never had any clerks on these negotiating committees would be the only reason. All well as of the ratification on this one everybody is now SKILLED or UNSKILLED whatever.. I quoted it earlier but I posted a small example of the l990 contract. Most of the part timers were not born by then..The starting hourly rate was 9 dollars an hour, 4 years seniority it went up to over 11 skilled rate. So in 28 years the part time starting pay has only progressed 4 dollars if this one goes through. Now figure out the cost of living for all those years and see if that .07 cent annual increase works for you. Do not get me started on your pension increases over the last 20 years, they should be negotiated with no caps the same as the full timers who will benefit for those years past 35. Also no retro improvements for those full timers who have any part time vested time under the UPS Pension Plan for part timers. Let us say count them at 60 dollars per credit year no matter when then left the part time positions and no 6 percent penalty. Also remunerate when you go full time you will be under the IBT/UPS pension plan and will have to start anew with your vesting time. We had a 22.3 who retired with 35 years in who had 20 years part time and 15 years full time and discovered that if he would stayed part time he would be able to collect a high pension. This happens because of the 6 percent penalty clause with both plans. The Truth is this contract has nothing for the senior part time member. I guess the part timers did not have anyone on the negotiating committees too.. [/QUOTE]
