This colleague of yours gets it!


Yes our top hourly pay rate in 2027 of $434/hr is
more than their top in 2025 (when their contract
becomes amendable) of $401. HOWEVER:
They get 13 bid periods of 28 days, at a min
guarantee of 75/hrs each bid period: thus
$401x75x13= $390,975
We have 8 bid periods of 4 weeks with 68 hrs
guarantee, and 4 bid periods of 5 weeks with 85 hrs
quarantee. Thus:
($435x68x8) + ($435x85x4) = $384,540
So total yearly guaranteed compensation for us in
2027 is $6,435 LESS than UPS guaranteed
compensation in 2025. If we us our 2025 rate, it's
even worse ($410/hr, which works out to $28,535
LESS than UPS current contract rates in 2025!​​​​​​
