[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1089268, member: 42270"] While your proposal has some merits, I have to disagree with it. PT'ers/FT'ers are already divided. Separate contracts (even if they expired on the same day) would further split the bargaining unit. It's unlikely PT'ers would be much more involved as it stands now and - (pardon the expression) logistically - it would be a nightmare to have a second negotiating committee running concurrently with the first for the same workforce. Also, imagine the prospect of one of these two bargaining units voting for ratification and the other rejecting their contract. We need to think outside the box to get PT'ers more involved but I don't think putting them in a separate bargaining unit is the way to do it. We are better off appealing to the more recently promoted FT'ers (most of the feeder drivers hired off the street in the 70's/80's I've spoken to don't seem to give a [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] about PT'ers, not a blanket statement just observation) who remember their PT paychecks and how long it took to get into a truck or a combo job.
