[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 3250472, member: 48469"] It is kinda funny how the Union shot itself in the foot by charging seasonals initiation fees and dues. Gave UPS something to point to and say "See, they're covered by the Contract!" Problem for me is, what if the economy were really bad right now? 2009 level bad. And the Company wanted to pay PVDs $12 an hour to deliver because there were so many people desperate for work. As long as the Company made sure to take out initiation fees and dues, could they replace holiday package work with as many non-union, low paid employees as they wanted? And PVDs do work for less than Union wages. That's why they're used. And I don't think there was a good faith effort to follow the Contract in their creation. So I think it was on nonunion terms. I'm fine with agreeing to disagree. [/QUOTE]
