[QUOTE="89Percenter, post: 1162030, member: 48353"] Hey "In the Game"....before you try to dazzle everyone with your "math", you need to do a little research to back up your little "word problem". First off...Air District part-time Teamsters are only guaranteed 3hrs per day (not 3.5...3 hours) with the exception of the "6hr" classification which numbers less than 600. Second, here's a little word problem of my own for you: In the Air District there are roughly 8800 union employees. Of that number less than 1000 are full-time. Less than 600 are part-time employees with a 6 hour guarantee. So...take a minute, or an hour, or a day or hell, maybe even a week, to figure that out. More than 6000 workers are only guaranteed 3 hours per day. The increases in dues are a tremendous hit to their paycheck. Further, it takes about 17 years at this point to reach full-time in the Air District. Do the math, and you'll see why a lower dues rate is extremely important to part-time Teamsters, not only in Local 89, but the rest of the country. The current dues rate under the IBT Constitution disproportionately affects part-time workers. Had full-time jobs been a high priority to in negotiations, your argument might have had more validity.
