[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1070493, member: 30532"] So explain to me again why union contracts aren't handed out right when a member begins to pay dues. This might be one of the more obvious things you'd assume would be protocol. The local has boxes of these things when you go there, why are they at the local and not in the back of a stewards car? Here is why: The union doesn't give a damn about an informed pt workforce. Bagels, part-timers dropping out of the union gives more leverage to the company and full-timers? Both doesn't seem like the right presumption. Keep repeating to yourself, part-timers as a whole don't care because they are part-time in a throw away job while you are full-time in a career. All your answers are right there. It must be nice to pull the wool over your eyes as you do a cash-grab every contract though, telling yourself "part-timers could have their way if they just...". Part-timers will never take their piece of the pie and that is perfectly fine, if you want the $ you must go full-time. Really though, just be honest with yourselves and others about the situation. It appears clear as day that the union isn't interested in educating its new membership. Couple that with new membership not wanting to be interested as they pass through and there are the real reasons why part-timers show PART TIME INTEREST while full-timers show FULL TIME INTEREST in their union. Unfortunately the minority group of part-timers who have that full time interest will never be the majority and it is intrinsically set up this way. [/QUOTE]
