We were told 80 cents and 3.5 cents. 2 cents and then 1.5 for some terminology I don't remember. The same terminology was used as a portion of the 80 cents as well.

The city was the weak link at our barn. NOT ANYMORE!! Lol!
Let's see here option A I could give my employees a really good raise and pay them like the largest ltl company in America, and possibly stop union.
Or option B I can nickel and dime them and spend millions fighting to keep union out and lose.
Hmmmmm..... I chose option B.

Its actually top of scale raise.
If it were 2009 2010 I say that would be a good increase. I don't believe that we will ever see the level some other company's pay, and I mean never. Union or not. Ain't gonna happen. The days of being the best compensated in the industry are dead never to be duplicated. I call this the "Pound Sand" raise.
45 hour workweek - at od it is all straight time so they make $1122.75. fedex 40 hours straight time at $947.20 plus 5 hours ot at $177.60 equals $1124.80.........hmmmmm
Don't know many places around where I am that are not getting 45 hours or more. Just saying that there are other things like no o/t that need to be looked at not just the hourly rate.
You should never count on O.T. as part of your pay plan for it is not guaranteed income. It is nice to get and I think our guys get screwed but we all knew it going in. Things like insurance, 401k match and work environment are more important in my opinion
I have had only 2 eight hour days since the beginning of November.
If you know anything about this company you would know we are under staffed! When we get staffed there will be no overtime! Then how will you explain OD making 1.07 more a hr? Not to mention Conway, YRC,ABF, UPSF, Holland, R&L, and Southeastern making more hourly than us!
You just guaranteed the union in! You have no one blame but yourself corporate! See you at the negotiation table!!
Weak try to keep the union out!
I think if the union wasn't at the company's door step we wouldn't be getting 80 cents. We also wouldnt know 7 weeks in advance what the raise is. In the history of the company since I've been here we normally find out the raise a day or two before we get it. This is part of the company's promise campaign to try and act like they will change their tune and treat us right.
Well I ain't buying what they're selling. I'm still voting UNION YES!
Not only can I see right through this 80 cent bs I think the company knows where they can stuff it!
80 cents in October will quickly turn to 20 cents in January when out healthcare coverage changes again!

You miss the point. The goal is zero. When fully staffed they will try to keep you at or under 40. They have done it in the past, as soon as fully staffed and freight levels allow it. Please don't pat yourselves on the back because you get OT after 8 while the competition doesn't, while they get $1-$2.00 more per hour than we do. The OT factor is worth something, but NOT $1.50 (or more) per hour in the long run.
I've had some great checks with 55-60 hours but that is NOT going to be the norm, nor do I want it to be.
