[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1311472, member: 42270"] Not necessarily. "Managerial" employees and independent contractors have no such right under the NLRA. InsideScoop's right to organize depends on the nature of the work done in his unit. If it's entirely office/clerical work and they're processing paperwork more than making decisions, then there's a good chance his bargaining unit could organize. Of course, UPS is highly resistant to letting additional workers unionize and would try to dilute the voting pool by adding in as many mid-level managers as possible. Quite frankly, I've always thought the PT supervisors should serve a role similar to foremen in a union shop which is a quasi-union/managerial job; they're usually covered under the CBA and can be held more accountable than the other workers. They definitely don't have hire/fire authority and don't even really make managerial decisions. [/QUOTE]
