[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 607164, member: 9491"] brownIEman, I hate to break the news to you, the writing is in the contract, and we screwed our future part-timers by voting for the horrible language. The company is saving millions because the contract now offers health Insurance to part-timers after 1 year of service and to their dependents after 18 months. We no longer can hire that 20 to 30 something guy just looking for benefits for his family after 120 days. No one is going to stick around for $8.50 per hour unloading trucks, when they can make the same doing a lot less work at 30 years of age. We now hire kids who live with their grandmother and could care less about the Health Insurance and they don't stick around long enough to collect. This was brilliant on the part of UPS. We sold our future help down the comode, by caring for only ourselves. You are correct, we will be next. It will probably be the regular part-timers loosing the benefit, or at the very least all of us paying for it. I was told by management that they don't even care about attendance for these new hires. They just over staff for call ins because anyone with less than a year that does not come to work is not costing the company money. Attendance has not been kept ever since. I do not see how the company can poor mouth after what they have saved in health benefits from this last contract. [/QUOTE]
