[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3992715, member: 49065"] Most of us full timers started out as part timers, for the most part it took over 10 years seniority as a part timer in order to even win a full time bid, then you had to qualify usually as a package car driver. I am not going to try to stereotype all our current part timers, but from my observation most are not in college, it was a must back in a time, the ones that continue to stay are not the top of the food chain to say the least. We had one kid in our hub that I noticed was a cut above, showed up to work and busted his ass to get it done, I just knew that he was ready to leave and find a job that paid better than the state's minimum wage, the delay with the contract was another deciding issue. He left! Right now with our part timers we have over 60 percent of our total union workforce with UPS being transient, temporary, clueless with union issues and having no plans to even try to become full time or make a career of this type of work. They are easy pickings come contract time for the International and the Company to insure that these concessionary contracts are ratified. I am pretty sure that only 25 percent of them eligible voted yes for that two dollar bump and 65 percent of them didn't even bother. This will not change for the 2023 contract, plans are already being made with the "pension" issues, bottom line is probably that my 41 year seniority/31 year full time vote was cancelled by a 2 month part timer who no longer works for us anymore.
