"I don't think it's asking anything crazy to have equal pay, doing the same jobs as full-timers inside the building," Flynn said. While neither the union nor UPS have disclosed the latest pay proposals on the bargaining table, some workers are pushing for starting pay of $25 an hour - the same amount they were making in 1983 when adjusting for inflation. However, many part-timers say that their starting pay is far below what full-time UPS workers make for doing the same job. (However, under a recent executive order addressing federal contractors, UPS must pay at least $16.20.) The company notes that part-timers make an average of $20 an hour after 30 days on the job, while enjoying the same health care and pension benefits as full-time workers.
Under the current contract, part-time workers at UPS start at $15.50 an hour.
