[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 509421, member: 6435"] I go to meetings, I urge all the part timers I can to get involved, to realize what voting yes to the contract or voting for Hoffa means to them. To no avail. The stupid kids won't listen to anything except the propaganda that gets mailed to their house funded by those who want to continue to keep part timers down. And it's easy to convince the part time kids who do vote, to vote in a manner against their interests. And the smug FTers on this site and elsewhere stick the blame on me. "YOU PART TIMERS NEED TO GET MORE INVOLVED." It is extremely frustrating, to say the least, and that's before the full timers who have life extremely well chew me a new one because it's tough to sell a bunch of 18-20 year olds on the fact that this contract, or that guy Hoffa is a poor deal for them. They don't get it, don't care, or both. And this is somehow my fault. It's really the fault of whoever voted yes on any contract since 1982. Those who have plenty enjoy continuing to take more and more from those who have little. Frankly, I am surprised the last contract didn't go back to 3 hour guarantees. [/QUOTE]
