negotiations started 13 months prior to the amendable date...mediated talks began a year ago...it's been 32 months and still no settlement on the big five items...ups makes almost a billion/quarter in profit yet they have asked for givebacks in healthcare and raises that have not kept pace with inflation...we feel they need a "nudge" to start serious talks...
how long is too long??..we have guys dying on the panel after age 60 waiting for a retirement so they can get out of here...we have new hires making 26k a year...so yes there are people who want it sooner rather than wait 3/4/5 years for ups to settle...
