[QUOTE="happybob, post: 1103848, member: 4724"] It sucks that the pay rate for part time employees in our company is so low, but we also have to see that most companies don't provide any benefits to part time employees. With Obamacare you are seeing more companies lowering the hours worked by thier workers, just so they can force them into his health plan. Add the cost of all the benefits provided and the part time employees at UPS have a better deal than most part time workers in this country. Can the company afford to pay a higher rate of pay for the par time workers, sure they can, and only when you get involved and vote will you see the rate changed. Us full time employees fight for what we want in the contract and you should vote the same way. If the partimers band together and vote the contract down(highly unlikely) and the union takes us out on strike(ever higher unlikely) I will stand beside you on that picket line, just as I did in 97 when fighting for more full time jobs. In 97 it wasn't about creating more full time driver positions. That strike was about giving the part time workers more full time positions. I and many others thought they were going to be better paying than they ended up being and still think they should be. Allowing the company to butcher those jobs has been and will continue to be a shame. Will the unon ever get it right, doubt it. It will take us voting no on the conpany proposals until they do, not just letting the union deciding whats best for us but us deciding it for ouselves. [/QUOTE]
