[QUOTE="Returntosender, post: 1133638, member: 29240"] [b]Re: We must launch a coordinated Strike or else were all screwed...[/b] 5 PT for every 1 FT in 1997. Sunday, August 17, 1997Story last updated at 5:40 p.m. on Friday, August 15, 1997 UPS STRIKE: Part-time workers do not have any benefits We would like to respond to the recent editorial calling on the president to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act and order United Parcel Service workers back to work with the force of law. It is confusing to me that the same people who call for the government to get off the backs of business have no problem calling for government intervention when working men and women take a stand for a safe work place and decent treatment. From reading the editorial, you might believe that the 98 percent of UPS drivers, loaders, sorters and pilots who walked out to man the picket lines did so only because the leadership of the Teamsters told them to; and that the 60 percent of the UPS work force that is part time, with reduced or no benefits, wish to remain that way. The national average for the part-time work force is 18 percent. UPS is more than three times that. While it is true that some of us wish to remain part time, the vast majority see all new business created at UPS converted to part-time jobs at a rate of five part-time jobs for every full-time job.[url=http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/081797/Sunleadl.html]Jacksonville.com: UPS STRIKE: Part-time workers do not have any benefits 8/16/97 | Jacksonville.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
