UPS Contact16 was effective Sept 1st, so 10 months after our contract.
The UPS pilots built upon our pay rates, and my expectation is that we will raise the bar as well. How long that will last is anyone’s guess. I only wish UPS had kicked it back, because, IMO, their inflation predictions are optimistic to say the least.
I can honestly say I never expected to see anyone on APC advocating for a Bridge TA.
FWIW-for the prognosticators, once UPS finally opens their CBA for a full S6 negotiations, if they take as long as their previous 2 that will put them another 5 years down the road.
