[QUOTE="24601, post: 580985, member: 23810"] I totally agree with you. Part timers are getting the shaft, especially in the new contract. New part timers get nothing. There pay is :censored: they get no health insurance for a year, their dependents don't get insurance for 18 months, and they don't get holiday pay. New part time labor is incredible cheap, so UPS is able to over staff the building with new people and cut our average hours by 20%, and they also get sent home a lot. It seems to me that 40 percent of the part timers, at least in my building lasts less than a year, so they are incredibly cheap to hire since many of them will never see benefits of any type. The union is getting a good deal out of it as well. Im not sure if the dues vary from place to place, but in our building there is a $300 start up fee to be in the union, and then it is 2.5x your hourly wage a month. So the union is making approximately $615 in a year with a new employee, whereas they only make probably around $360 a year with a part timer who has two years put in. In fact, a part timer would have to be making 20 dollars an hour to equal the amount of money being paid for by new hires. That is not right. Minimum wage is creeping closer and closer to the starting wage, especially in some jurisdictions where it is higher than the federal or state minimum wage. I am sure the turnover rate is even higher with the new contract, who wants to wait a year to get insurance? :wornout:For the most part I am against right to work legislation, but new part timers are getting nothing from the union. I had a higher wage at seven eleven several years ago compared to what a part time unloader makes starting off, only I had no union dues to pay. [/QUOTE]
