[QUOTE="brett636, post: 919559, member: 249"] I am assuming your final word was supposed to be contract? Anyways, if the seasonals don't matter in regards to the contract then why should they be forced to pay union dues? In a non RTW state like mine they must pay union dues, including the initiation fee, even though the union does not benefit them one bit. I'm sorry, but i find that practice wrong. What I find truly disturbing are the part-timers who are getting disenfranchised the most are those who have never worked for UPS, atleast not yet. The most current contract forces them to wait a year for benefits and another 6 months on top of that to add family members to their insurance all the while having to bust their rear ends for nearly minimum wage pay. They didn't vote for this contract, only fulltimers and part-timers who were not affected by this change did. Bottom line here is if an incoming part-timer is unhappy with this situation they should have the right to keep their initiation fee and dues money in their pocket until the union changes its negotiating tactics come contract time. Herman Cain was the most qualified individual for the office of the President of the United States. Its no telling now all the good he would have done if he had gone all the way, but unfortunately he was the victim of a public smear campaign brought on by false allegations from women whose real motivations may not be known for sometime, if ever. I leave Herman as my avatar in honor of a man who this country desperately needs in a leadership position. [/QUOTE]
