[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1068541, member: 30532"] Yes, part-timers are [U]literally[/U] mentally handicapped people. All of us. At what point do the negotiators say alright, we're going to fight for a .15 cent twi/night pay differential but it will be strictly for full-timers, the punk kids working 11 am - 4 am should not be privy to such a thing. I read all the time that part-timers need to get off their ass and do something if they want change. And the only response to that is it will NEVER happen because it can't. You know this 104feeder. The union has done zero to inform new hires even of basic union practices. They have failed in every area right down to providing contracts for new union workers. There is absolutely no education provided and dare I say there is almost a feeling of the union TRYING to alienate part-timers. There are so many little things that could be done right from the start of a persons career at UPS to get them involved with union activities. Right now ask a new hire how he feels about the union. All it is to most is a negative that pulls 30$ out of their paycheck every week. Is that not a failure on the part of the union? This is why things seem twisted and treasonous to my eyes. Too many things the union does ends up working in the favor of UPS. When RTW spreads to every state and 50% of the work force tells the union to kick dirt, what then? Don't tell me fedex is there if I'm not happy with my wage and benefits. You should be ashamed to say such things considering your pay in comparison to a fedex driver. This is about one group of workers who make a very good living and are therefore vested in interest, taking as much of the pie as they can because another group has no voice and will never have a voice, seemingly just the way the "union" and company like it. I don't think full-timers should have to give up a pay raise, to me that is a slippery slope and you might find yourselves stuck at that rate for the next two decades too. [/QUOTE]
