[QUOTE="UPS WORKHORSE, post: 1130016, member: 47327"] Good thing you're not on the negotiating committee. The part-timers wouldn't ever see a raise. I can't help but wonder why people like you don't want to see a part-timer get the chance to go combo sooner or get a good raise. People like you talk about putting in your time. Well... how long does someone need to put in their time? At my hub the wait is over 11 years to go combo and the wait to go driver is 25 years due to combos trying to go driver. How long did you have to wait to go driving or combo? The reason you aren't complaining is because you can pay to have your house, and spend money on your wife. After 11 years, I think a part-timer has the right to be pissed that they can't get over 20 hours in a week or make the same amount of money as someone else who does the same exact job. They've put their time in. Isn't that one of the major reasons the Teamsters went on strike in 1997: To END PART TIME POVERTY? So stop defending UPS being cheap, stop defending UPS wanting to not create more full-time jobs when the work and volume is there. UPS has enough money to create more combo jobs, but it is cheaper to have 3 or more part-time employees than it is combos. Get out of here with your Walmart comment.
