[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 792047, member: 18044"] True. State Law always trumps contract law. But isn't it a devastating commentary on the Teamsters Union that their definition of "best ever" contracts contain part-time starting wages below one or more state minimum wages. Part-timers who are members of the Bargaining Unit but not members of the Teamsters Union in RTW states can't vote by law. Part-timers who are members of the Bargaining Unit but not members of the Teamsters Union in non-RTW states (Agency Fee Payors) can't vote by law. Contract votes are only held every five or six years. Relatively few part-timers are members in good standing when the votes are held. Many part-timers pass thru the revolving doors only to work for a few days, weeks, months, or years, and are not part-time when a vote is taken. Either they left the Company, or went full-time. The worst wages and benefits are always reserved for the "unborn." This large block of part-timers who will be hired during the Contract's term, can't vote even though they will be eventually working under the Contract and will be dues paying Union members. Some part-timers on the payroll who have not yet paid all their dues and initiation fees can't vote because they are not yet "members in good standing." Some part-timers vote "Yes" because the Teamsters Union unanamously recommends the Contract, as does UPS. They are lead to believe it is the best offer that can be gotten, and a "No" vote means a strike, and possible job loss. They don't know any better because no one educates them. [/QUOTE]
