[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 371137"] Part timers will be starting at minimum wage in MA either this year or next (can't remember when the state bumps it up again) so its really not that hard to believe that some areas have people starting at minimum wage. I understand their agreement is separate but overall it seems the union as a whole failed the ptimers....then again, they don't really help their cause (in most places) as most, but certainly not all, don't really participate in union activities. I don't know what the union plans to do about that as I'm no longer a member, but I hope they do something as if it stays there, I don't think anyone (save people who want to go driving) will want to start out here at that rate. I'm surprised the union didn't go the no bennies + higher pay rate option route with PTimers at least. Then at least those just using it for some extra change/workout and not benefits would have some motivation to stay and work hard. You get what you pay for, the drivers I think are hard workers and the face of this company and are rewarded with industry leading pay and bennies. Part timers, while not really seen in the public eye are just as important. They move the packages that get to those package cars, are also pushed to meet demanding performance goals as the drivers are and I think they deserve a little more to show for it than they are currently getting.
