[QUOTE="Zorro in hell, post: 1141557, member: 45941"] No part time employee hired in the 1970's made $12.00 an hour. I started 33yrs ago at $8.50. I for one am willing to freeze the full time driver wage so that all new hire partimers starting wage is $15.00 an hour with benefits. By 2017 the nation wide minimum wage will be $10.00 an hour. what does that say for the new contract? I am noticing here in the language that I read a sence of fear in the Union ranks. Partimers against fulltimers, young employees against old. I think this happens when there is no real Unoin leadership. We here stories about what other people in our industry are making and it scares some people. And when we continue to vote in contracts that disregard the part time workers. Contracts that allow for a driver to make his full wage after 4 yrs and within those 4 yrs they cannot file an excessive overtime greivence. From the mouth of a manager who works for UPS work comp " shoulder surgeries and knee surgeries are on the rise". This individual was a center manager and we came to the same conclusion, that the volume and the amount of stops on the truck has dramatically increased. So if you plan to go to full time driving, you will not be able to file 9.5 greivence for 4 yrs, and in those 4 yrs you could get hurt! Imagine 11 to 12hr days 5 days a week with no recourse. Do you think you will last 33 yrs to collect a pension? NO! VOTE NO ON THIS CONTRACT! So ...they go back to the table and renegotiate. It does'nt have to be a strike. [/QUOTE]
