Let the IPA do the Work
And Vote the Lame TA down. The IPA will have a very good TA within 8 months I predict.
The Hourly Rates are insulting IMO. COLA? While Management gets 8% raises per year!
We all need to work together to stop these insulting COLA raises.

It appears that FedEx's current contract is better as a whole than UPS's. The IPA while showing strong unity hasn't necessarily been that impressive with results.

Your 2006 contract was underwhelming. Still cracks me up that you blame us for your pay rates; I don't remember getting to vote on your contract.

The way I see it, the IPA ought to be thanking us for bringing negotiations to a close (unless we vote NO!) so they have a reference as to what is twice too long!*?

Sept 9 (Reuters) - The union representing pilots at package delivery company United Parcel Service Inc said it had urged them to vote to authorize a strike.
The Independent Pilots Association said on Wednesday that if the pilots voted in favor of authorizing a strike, its board would have the authority to request a release from federally mediated negotiations with UPS.
The National Mediation Board has been mediating since early 2014 in contract negotiations between UPS and its pilots union on issues related to compensation, pension and benefits.
Rival FedEx Corp and its pilots tentatively agreed last month on an amended collective bargaining agreement after nearly a year of mediation from the National Mediation Board.
"UPS has stalled and delayed, unnecessarily prolonging our negotiations," Independent Pilots Association President Robert Travis said in a statement. "UPS management has created a bitter standoff with its pilot employees."
The contract is under the Railway Labor Act, the U.S. labor law that governs railroads and airlines, and it became amendable towards the end of 2011.
If the National Mediation Board grants a release from the mediation, a strike or lockout could follow after a 30-day countdown.
UPS said it continued to negotiate "in good faith" for a contract and it was confident that the talks would be completed without disruption in its services.
"Despite the (union's) announcement, there is no real threat of a strike. Such authorization votes are routine during negotiations in the airline industry, but they are legally irrelevant under the Railway Labor Act," UPS spokesman Mike Mangeot said in an emailed statement.
Even if the National Mediation Board grants the union a release from the talks, there are a "series of fail-safes, including presidential and congressional intervention, designed to prevent an interruption in operations," Mangeot said.
UPS shares closed at $97.93 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

I hope UPS gets an awesome pay raise. That's our only hope in 6-10 years of doing better than we are doing now.
SWA just rejected their TA 62%--38%. Delta rejected theirs. IPA is putting up a good fight as usual. Hopefully they can get a good contract.
