[QUOTE="R. Mutt, post: 3753849, member: 74425"] I heartily disagree with OP but the existence of the sentiment is frightening to me, and I'm worried that it isn't to others. I don't understand the pervasive argument against the PTer sentiment of "It would be nice if I had the opportunity to become FT by making a living wage while I wait my turn." This specific situation objectively, without question, gets worse with every contract since '97 and there's always a crowd making top rate crying entitled whiners and suck it up when it's likely they never faced the same issues. Membership being complicit with screwing PTers out of a living wage and the possible divisive power of the 22.4 language is telling. I'd say that if UPS wanted to divide and conquer/drive a wedge between members to undermine the solidarity and efficacy of the union (read "encourage PT members to scab") they are doing one heckuva job and it's hard to say no one saw it coming.
