[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 1265280, member: 21514"] I couldn't agree more. The part-timers deserve more money, but......they only have themselves to blame. Most , not all, don't stick together, they don't get involved, and the biggest problem is they don't bother voting. The union sees that a large majority doesn't show up at meetings and they see that a large majority wont take the time to vote. On the other side of the fence, the company, outside of operations, think they've "dumbed down" the job and think that the current pay is equal to the skill. This should paint a pretty good picture as to why negotiations have ended up like they have the last 3 contracts. I remember when part-time pre-loaders were making 75 cents less than drivers in this area and didn't work as hard as part-timers do now. The lineup was made up of mostly 4,5,6, and 8 cubes with maybe 4-5 10 cubes in a bldg. of 50 routes. That same bldg. has 7,8,10, and 12 cubes and 65-70 routes most days. [/QUOTE]
