[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 845006, member: 18708"] Herein lies the problem: The "old time" PT'ers, who understand the issues, are already making a decent wage. The new hires making $8/hr (barely minimum wage, if that) are not armed with knowledge of striking or unionism, for the most part. Call to arms for PT families? It depends on what UPS offers in 2012 or '13 negotiations. If they try to eliminate medical benefits altogether, surely, many PT'ers will be ticked off. However if UPS wants to bargain away medical benes with higher PT wages to somewhat offset, then you're appealing to the new-hires and segregating the old-timers. I think UPS strategy would be best to do exactly that - raise starting wage and eliminate benefits altogether. You'd herd out some of the old-timers making the highest wages and expensive medical/benes/pension etc, and attract a better breed of college-age crowd. There are of course one million and one other issues I am leaving out... [/QUOTE]
