[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1157404, member: 17969"] What are you smoking? Progression didnt begin to accelerate until the 2008 contract after Ron Carey left office. In the last two contracts, progression for part timers has increased by TWO YEARS. That's 24K taken out of their pockets and then placed into our pockets as raises. WE FINANCE OUR OWN RAISES. Simple economics bro. When an employee has to wait a year to see a 10 dollar jump from part time to full time, thats where your RAISES come from. The company and the union do this by design. The UNION wants to be able to SELL you on a contract, so together with the company, they extend progression and then take that money thats NOT being paid to part timers and give it back to us in large raises so the contract can appeal to you. Hopefully, you understand how this works. In 1997, those retirees stood on the picket lines standing up for progression, health insurance, job security and the creation of the full time job you may have today. Now, they have been thrown under the bus because the union knows ONE THING. They can no longer vote for them. The company doesnt care either. Some retirees only recieve 2600.00 a month, and taking 400.00 dollars a month out of that can be devastating to them. WE OWE them our loyalty. If we start a Me, Myself and I attitude, what do you expect to happen to you when you are retired? Is that the future of the teamsters? Screw the old guys so "some" can have gains" One day, we will all be retired, and hopefully, there will be members strong enough to look beyond themselves. peace TOS [/QUOTE]
