[QUOTE="noazrk, post: 3674734, member: 22243"] Unfortunately for me, I believe you are correct. The more I look at the contract and the numbers, the more clear it gets. I just noticed the new friend.T. driver raises which are significantly higher than ours! 1. 70 cents vs. $2.25 2. 75 cents vs. $3.50 3. 80 cents vs. $3.00 4. 90 cents vs. $3.75 5. $1 vs. jump to Top Pay UPS can afford to bump drivers up $2-3 chunks each year and the starting P.T. wage 30% or more but can't afford to give senior P.T. even $1 until the last year and zero catch up raises? It only takes drivers 5 years to make appx. double the starting pay. A P.T. 10 year employee WITH the sort dollar is not even 50% over starting pay anymore! The numbers don't lie, it's obvious the union and UPS value the full-timers MUCH more than the part-timers (except during Peak of course). Either we can get in line to drive, quit and get replaced with someone making starting pay, or keep getting our meager raises and deal with it. Like FT drivers we are expected to stay until all work is done regardless of our day job or school schedule. Just like FT drivers we are expected to put UPS first! Yet the pay is substantially less. Pretty depressing honestly :-( But then again....we're still better off than Fed Ex employees! [/QUOTE]
