[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 330368, member: 4568"] We average ZERO part timers at our union meetings. Why? Because they are PART TIME employees. They do not care , most of them will not be here 6 months from now much less 6 years from now. No company is designed to accommodate part time workers for 10+ years. If you want to stay with the company follow the progression and go full time. If not get what you can while your here(pay,benefits,scheduling convenience,etc.) all while your going to school, working a full time job, being a stay at home mom, or whatever else you choose to do while only working at UPS 3-5 hrs. per day. We have had p/t people from my hub go on to be pilots,professors,lawyers,doctors,nurses. And I can tell you they could care less about MY pension now that they are gone. And I do not expect them too. I have lived the CS nightmare for 23 years and if it takes 100 p/t people to save MY pension then so be it. Fair? maybe not. Honest? absolutely. P/t employment anywhere is a vehicle to get you somewhere else. Kind of like your first car it runs and gets you where you need to be but eventually you move up to something better. Hopefully anyway, and if not and your still living with your parents and driving a 74 Vega. Then you have bigger issues to deal with. Same principal applies to you if you have been at UPS 10+ years and are still p/t. Instead of blaming the friend/T worker for you being screwed over, maybe you should blame yourself. But what would be the sense in that, it's always easier to blame others for our own failures. [/QUOTE]
