Sounds like a great deal:
Under the tentative agreement, existing full- and part-time UPS union workers will get $2.75 more per hour in 2023, and $7.50 more per hour over the length of the five-year contract. The agreement also includes a provision to increase starting pay for part-time workers, which the union had called the most at risk in the company’s workforce of being exploited. Starting pay for part-time workers will be $21 per hour, it said, up from $16.20 today.
More proof that there is power in a union
It’s a good bump for part time, but $7.50 over 5 years is pretty garbage. That’s probably about 5% per year.
My only concern is the part regarding AC. I fear they’re just going to buy multiple years worth of vehicles prior to when the change goes into effect, and hold off on buying new as long as they can.
Fun fact:
The trucks already come with AC and heat shielding for the exhaust. UPS has them ripped out to save money.
