Is there anybody at the wheel at UPS that can pay attention to the real world?

[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 542457, member: 11246"] I hate when I hear people say "it's their fault for not voting'' yada yada yada. If the union truly had an interest in the part timers, they would take the time to inform and educate them about the union and what it has and can do for them. Perhaps the caliber of part time employees are different in other hubs, but in my hub, and particularly in my center, most of them have no clue about the contract and the union. If the union is going to take an initiation fee and monthly dues that comes to approximately 500.00 for the first year, they could at the least hand out a one page letter explaining the union and contact info. It could easily be incorporated with all the other paper work a new hire receives. But the union does not want the part timers to be educated. They do not want retention, but rather strive for attrition, in the part time ranks. UPS still has to pay into the health and welfare pension, but most part timers never withdraw from it. UPS has and is still trying to design their system for the dumb. No training needed. Read a number and push, throw, slide into a desired location. I appreciate my AWESOME bennies. I am anxious to make the top driver rate that the union has contracted for us….but that is not to say they do no wrong. I am still amazed to see the contract being violated everyday, union members complaining, but nothing being done. The contract is not being followed. I see it being broken all the time. [/QUOTE]
