[QUOTE="mikerlz, post: 874154"] as far as 'union participation goes' look at it this way. you guys are FULL TIME. this is your MAIN GIG. you have everything riding on how the union handles things. us part timers, who are usually young guys 18-22 and can still be under mommy and daddy's insurance until 26, cant get by on $100-150 a week. we are in school, or are forced to take 2-3 jobs because god knows we make no money here. when are we going to go to the meetings if we're stuck working weekends to get by? it seems the argument is "suck it up" and "what you dont make you make up for in benefits"... well, last I checked we have a union for benefits AND pay. but apparently thats only for the full timers. as far as i can tell, the union can give two [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]s about the part timers, and it makes sense. they know most will just quit and be replaced by joe schmo on the street. no benefits for a year? lower raise progression? come on. it takes me three years to make a starting wage at any other job i have had, it takes you two years to make top rate. stewards are always leaning on a broom buddying around with the sups, and then they'll turn around and give you a sticker for "unfair production standards." its laughable at best. does no one realize the fallacy of voting for a contract that isn't going to affect you? who cares right?
