[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1064432, member: 29972"] It's unfortunate that it has come to part-timers leaving the union by RTW choice, but that is what decades of poor negotiations for part-timers have done to our union. And now it's weakening our union. Bottom line is.... Full-timers remain union members in RTW states because the union continues to prove it's value to them (with wages, benefits, and job-security). The same can't be said about part-timers. We have neglected them too long in our contract negotiations. The UPS part-time jobs currently pay such a low wage that it appeals to most as a temporary job, which doesn't build strength in our union at all. I'm not saying we should hire new part-timers at $20/hr, but it shouldn't take a decade to reach that wage either. We should be accelerating their raises (more than we are now) as they gain seniority through the part-time ranks, thus gaining more support from a work-force that can see the benefit of supporting a union.
