[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 460859, member: 11246"] My theory on why they changed it to 12/18. 1) Percentage wise, drivers are more active/savvy in the union then part/timers. UPS could change it to 12/18 and still get the teamsters to vote yes for the contract. 2) The union makes money on the high turnover on the part time level. The union gets to collect the initiation fee every time a new part timer joins the ranks. Change the wait time for bennies and then the worse case scenario is the turn over rate goes up and so does the initiation fees collected. The union is also aware that they could get a contract passed even if they screw part timers being that the drivers vote more then the part timers. This is solely based on what I have experienced at my building. What I would of liked to of seen would of been more of a compromise. I understand the huge expense it is to give someone the type of benefits we receive. Let us wait the 12/18, but raise the starting wage by a few more $$'s. . JMHO [/QUOTE]
