Part-timers have all the power. They just don’t know it. Yet.

[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5378363, member: 26800"] Do Part-timers want a better contract? If they do then IMO part-timers need to sub organize their power, their power that exists in their numbers. By their numbers alone, if organized in unified solidarity, UPS Teamster part-timers could and should write their own and everyone else’s ticket when it comes to the UPS Master Collective bargaining agreements. One problem is they don’t know of the power that they have in their numbers. The numbers to overwhelmingly out vote Full-time UPS Teamsters on National issues. Apathy is another problem but maybe the apathy would decrease if they were actually educated about this power and then respected for the power that they hold. If all part-timers showed solidarity and voted, part-timers could name their conditions and nobody could do a thing about it. IMO UPS Full-timers fear a part-time work force actively and fully involved in the Union by uniting and voting in solidarity. 100% Part-time voting should be the goal and I believe full-timers greatly fear this possibility. I believe if UPS Teamster Part-timers were to grow into their power within the Teamsters at UPS represented by their sheer numbers the UPS Teamsters would be more effectively and fairly represented. Part-time stewards, do you fully recognize and educate your members of the importance and powerful position that part-timers truly hold by their sheer numbers? Or Are you convinced as many want to believe that the part-timers are not important in UPS Teamsters Politics and issues? [/QUOTE]
