UPS reaches tentative contract with 340,000 unionized workers potentially dodging calamitous strike

Sounds like a great deal:
More proof that there is power in a union
It's a good bump for part time, but $7.50 over 5 years is pretty garbage. That's probably about 5% per year.
I agree it's garbage, but isn't it average or better than other industries? As a software dev I've gotten less than 5% most years (in contrast I've gotten >20% every time I've switched jobs).
Inflation is below 5% and should keep going lower over 5 years, especially if we dip into recession. If that works out to 2-3% real wage growth guaranteed regardless of a recession that's pretty decent. Especially because that's above and beyond any pay increases any individual worker would get for having more experience.
