How does UPS Freight keep drivers???

Im talking about the freight contract, which is who I worked for.

You guys at small pack/feeder have your own deal going on. Your contract is better since you have more clout.

 

The top rate for freight remained the same yet allows for drivers at top rate to keep moving into higher rates for the length of the contract with pay increases. However, for a guy just starting out, the most he'll ever hit is the $28 and change per hour, because then a new contract will be due and who knows how the pay situation will be then. The company could very well freeze the pay, which would then mean you'll have guys at the terminal making $30+ an hour, while there will he guys making $28 something for the same exact job. Hence, the two tier system.

 

I'll have you know I worked at frieght for 8 months! Lol. That was long enough to see how the show ran. And the contract was an eye opener for me. I got to see how things really worked.

 

Im talking about the freight guys.

You feeder guys are just steering wheel holders with a lot better pay. Theres a reason why theres some, ahem, hefty shall we say, feeder guys walking around the yard lol.

 

That sounds like parcel numbers. Im talking about freight.

 

I dunno. Sounds youre one of the guys that just voted yes without reading it. The $42 stood out to you, and you said where do I sign. Or maybe you didnt bother voting at all which screwed your brothers that voted no, but the union pushed it theough anyways since not enough total workforce voted.
