I'm interested in reading your current thoughts regarding the topic of having separate full-time and part-time contracts. Some might say it would lead to further division of the rank and file. After reading posts hear on BrownCafe, I'm really not sure if that is possible especially considering the manner in which part-time employees have been so poorly represented in the past three contracts.
I for one believe that the part-time employees have been the "pawns" in the BIG game of chess between UPS and Union negotiators. If there were separate contracts, our Union would not have anything to bargain with for the full-time employees......just sayin... Let's be honest....our Union knows the it is mainly the full-time employees that vote. In addition, the low wages and no benefits (for 1 year) for part-time employees keeps turnover high.......which in turn keeps wages...and benefits low..and the cycle continues......
Your Thoughts....Pros....& Cons.. ?????
