That’s not the kind of change in pay that part-timers have in mind.hall has promised to negotiate an increase in starting wages for part-timers. What’s less clear is what the IBT has in mind for existing part-timers.In 1997, starting pay for part-timers was increased by 50¢ an hour and every part-timer got an extra $1 “catch-up” increase, on top of the other contractual raises, to narrow the pay gap between part-time and full-time pay.Sixteen years later, part-time starting wages are at an all-time low and the wage gap is bigger than ever. Members need and expect significant increases in starting pay and catch-up increases and paying for benefits too . Maybe we should pay UPS for the privelige of working there  Instead of going home early we all need to work our guarantee it is our right and we need to tell the company to stick their  offer and not be the sheep that they believe us to be We to vote on the contract  when the ballot  is sent to us,  the company counts on us throwing it away.    </blockquote>
