[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1097637, member: 31608"] I could probably be fired for doing this, but I don't really care anymore so I had a PCM with the Unload at the building where I am employed and I explained, in a brief but passionate way, that it's a contract year, and basically that to not get involved is to give up before the battle has even started; so, make some time and get involved. After the contract, if they feel that they got screwed, then they will have no one to blame but themselves if they are not involved. I made a choice to go into management, and part of that choice means saying and doing things that (occasionally) make me feel a little dirty, and that's my own problem. However, as the Union is not exactly strong (or present in any way, shape, or form) in the building where I am employed, I kind of feel responsible to represent the interests of my direct employees - and to that end, whenever the choice presents itself, I will encourage them to go to meetings, call the Local, do whatever it takes. In a nutshell: the part-timers have to get involved, or they are literally digging their own grave and standing still as UPS fills in the hole. edit: quote [/QUOTE]
