[QUOTE="Trailer monkey, post: 5385912, member: 72940"] I never said the union, or the contract, was by any means perfect and they need a lot of improvements. If you are a 22.3 oldtimer like me you know that we did not always even have 22.3s, we didn't always have 25-30 any age pension and retirement benefits. My point is we are a hell of a lot better off (even new hires) with a union and a contract than without them. Discouraging people from joining the union because of "this issue or that issue" serves no purpose but to further weaken the union's bargaining power and play right into the hands of the company. I was a P/Timer for 10 years because that's how long it took at the time to get any fulltime bid (at least in my building) so I know how tough it can be for parttimers, I have always supported improvements for parttimers and have always encouraged them to participate in the union and the contract campaigns [/QUOTE]
