I’m glad so many of our union ‘brothers’ are concerned about the financial state of UPS in the event that inside employees get a raise to more than barely above minimum wage. Amazing solidarity !

Did you vote?

 

[Integrity]

Why should I fight for these PT employees when they won't even fight for themselves?

If they wanted a higher rate, they have the numbers to control their fate and their wage. Stand up and fight to get want you want I will back you 100%

But, I will not fight for you when you won't fight for yourself.

Part-timers need to get active in the Union.

I thought my Union dues ($23/wk) pays for my representation.

It pays your membership dues. The vote is your representation.

 

[Integrity]

Put the blame on the victim.

That is not what this is . It is putting responsibility where it needs to be. Voting is your only way to affect your representation.

 

[Integrity]

Just what the company wants. To split the Teamster votes so we have to take whatever is offered. Which is why we now have a two tier delivery driver pay rate. Tempted to stick around another few years and see how bad the next contract will be.

Will you vote?

 

[Integrity]

What kind of backwards logic is this? We are all due paying members of the same union. Why are you so resistant to the idea of your brothers and sisters getting a raise to a livable wage? This is the exact mentality that Management would love to breed. Let’s also not pretend that the union hasn’t completely failed in mobilizing and reaching out to part time employees.

Part timers have failed the Union.

 

[Integrity]

Indeed,most of my co workers don't even know what a union is or does to them it is just an extra tax, they don't know about the contract,that they have rights or they can file a grievance.

You need to get to work then.

 

[Integrity]

More part-timers making more money and having the means and encouragement they need to become full-timers means a stronger IBT. Any non-management UPS employee who opposes that is a g-d idiot.

Won’t oppose that, it will only happen through collective bargaining. Organize the PTers and vote.

 

[Integrity]

We used to get improvements every contract until the Union negotiated the PT two tier system. Ever since every contract has been another give back. While the FT blame the PT vote. The company has us just where they want us. Divided.

Not voting is where they want us.

There. Fixed it for you.

People expect a living wage, a wage to support them and their families, from a part time job.

Yes, I think part timers should make more because UPS can afford to pay them more, not that they "deserve" more. It's a part time job. Part time jobs usually pay part time wages. Get over yourself.

What really needs to happen is the union needs to stop negotiating PT wages/raises nationally. The fact that the employees at Amazon in Alabama are ecstatic about $15 starting wage should tell you something. I think it's also the reason UPS has such a hard time getting PT in some states to go FT. They don't need to with what they make.

New hires don not receive benefits until 9 months after starting I believe. When I started I hit top rate after 90 days. Vacations and option days don't start until after a year. Pensions don't start until after 25 years. Who plans on working a minimum wage PT job for 25 years?

What does a golf tournament in Georgia have to do with this

maybe you should enlighten them

We have plenty that occur simply because the sups don't want to give out the center phone number.

I don't live in a right to work state,but in reality what incentive aside from a light paycheck at the beginning of the month is there for a pt loader to join the union?I have received nothing not even a t shirt.

The union gets you nothing?

It's uninformed people like you that give all the part-timers a bad name, and some of the reasons why they don't vote.

What other company gives their part-timers full medical, vacations and a pension?

Well you will get medical, vacation and a pension if you stay here long enough.

 

[Swanson]

I don’t know. Do you believe in unionism?

I come from a family of longshoreman I know what a real union and brotherhood is about

 

[Swanson]

Well you will get medical, vacation and a pension if you stay here long enough.

I know he was just trying to use that to justify us getting minimum wage
