[QUOTE="UPS WORKHORSE, post: 1130294, member: 47327"] It's unacceptable to not have the expectations of getting a full-time job at a unionized company that is going to make $4 Billion in profit this year. We fought against that logic in 1997, because people were tired of having 2 jobs just to pay the bills. Now the people who are full-time don't understand the position of those who are part-time that want to be full-time. I can't understand why that is. One would think that standing on a picket line for 15 days would cause them to think, "Damn. I remember when I took to the picket line just so I could get a decent salary, guaranteed hours, good insurance, and a nice pension. I can emphasize with these 11 year part-time employees and I remember their pain." But no. These same people forget where they came from and have bought into UPS's lie that UPS is a part-time company and these part-timers should feel lucky to have a job that pays insurance with no hope of becoming full-time. Sounds like today's part-timers think the same as pre 1997 part-timers, "I want a decent salary, guaranteed 40 hours, good insurance, and a good pension. I'm tired of PART-TIME POVERTY. I've slaved for 11 year to make UPS rich. I'd like to share in the profit I created." [/QUOTE]
