[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 329880, member: 484"] First off, the new hires can either take or leave the job as they see fit. If the wage is too low, then they will not find people to work it now will they? Secondly, you state they will be required to pay union dues. REally? And who said that? Here, less than 10% of the part time workforce is paying union dues. So in your states, it will be even worse than it is here. Only if they accept the minimum wage job, and join the union will they then fall under the contract. As for being forced to do anything, I just dont see it. Unless they want the job, UPS is not going out and kidnapping people to work here and forcing them into anything. Bottom line is this. The union agreed to the contract, and the majority of those voting on the contract voted yes. So regardless of what spin is put on the contract, this is what we are working under for the next few years, like it or not. Those yet unborn or unhired will just have to cross that bridge on their own, just like you did. If you want the job, you have to take the good with the bad. If not, walmart and mcdonalds is putting people to work. d [/QUOTE]
