[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 184410, member: 5197"] I attribuite it to being our own fault. Most part timers are in it during college and/or high school..or they know its only for a few years before they go full time. Therefore, the apathy is extremely high. Its simple. Full timers generally care more about the Union politics, they show up to the meetings, they vote on the contract issues. Will they stick their neck out there for us? Hell no. If UPS proposed to keep the current top out rate around 28 dollars an hour, to raise the part timer rate to retain good people or get them, its a safe bet it would be turned down immediately. The question is to the full time drivers, when is enough, enough? Are you going to continuously press UPS for higher wages to starve the part timers even more? Or even starve the company to run it into the ground like the UAW has done to General Motors and Ford? I'm not saying the top out rate is outrageous, in fact, I think the full time drivers for what they go through now deserve around 30-31 dollars an hour as top out rate..but again, when does the line get drawn in the sand?
