[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 789632, member: 29972"] You can't really blame someone for not wanting to join the union for Part-Time work. Over here starting PT wage is LESS than minimum wage.... Yes, thats not a typo... starting pay is LESS than minimum wage, and with no tuition benifits, and most of these guys they hire will never even see medical, dental, or vision benifits. I'm a pro-teamsters guy myself, but I can really understand the non-union attitude that some people take when asking these "right to work state" questions. And I'll have to pass some of the blame onto the teamsters themselves for negotiating (or lack thereof) the worst part-time contract I have ever heard of. Its easy to stand behind the union when they are representing your benefits (in your job category) and negotiating decent contract language for you. But they really dropped the ball on the PT language. And as a result, its no real surprise our newer employees don't really care about their union or want to even be a part of it. [/QUOTE]
