[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 295190, member: 5831"] Great point. This was one of the biggest reasons I voted NO on this contract. All of us, including the "union" would benefit from MORE full time jobs. It would bring in more full time DUES for the union and since there are many right to work states where the part timers come and go, with many not joining the union. If there were more "combo" full time jobs there would be more of us "Teamsters" to educate and sign up new memebers. As many of us approach the 20 year mark or longer with the company we wonder how we will make it to retiement. These combo jobs would allow us older worn out workers to downshift and make it to retirement. We would take a pay cut, but we would open a driver position for the younger workers to also upgrade their life. People just had tunnel vision with the "retirement improvements?" being offered that they forgot to read the rest of the contract, or lack there of!!!! The union was pushing for such a quick rush rush vote that there was no chance for the average memeber to really have an objective opinion about what was all in or NOT in the contract. Thanks for bringing this out in the open. [/QUOTE]
