[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1163528, member: 43436"] I don't feel that way at all. My comments were in regard to the faction of FT employees who constantly persist that they're under-compensated. My point was that I believe it's hard to argue against the fact that they're fairly compensated, but of course it fires up those who feel that package car driving should earn them a ridiculous amount of money (e.g. well over $100K). There's only a finite amount of money to be shared with the Teamsters, and it's clear that the elephant's share they're receiving is being "paid" for by the increased usage of lesser paid temporary/seasonal/casual PT/FT employees (which ultimately slows the time it takes to go PT->FT) , and continued near-minimum wage provided to PT employees. I'm not certain there's enough PT to overcome this, given RTW laws (asking PTers to pay several hundred to join the union + several hundred in dues is a lot when a quarter of their take home pay is being used to buy the gas to get them to work). And yet the FTers who take want the PTers to vote for their retirement. I have issues with the contract, but financials -- sans [U]starting [/U]PT wages -- isn't one. [/QUOTE]
