[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 966331, member: 29972"] I agree with you mostly, except for that its not all UPS's fault that part-timers make such low wages. Its our union that fails to negotiate anything but poverty level raises for us. When it comes to negotiating time, the teamsters know that they are only going to get so much out of UPS each contract. and they figure that by shrinking the part-timers portion of that pie they can give full-timers a bigger slice. Just compare the last 5 contracts the teamsters have negotiated for us. Full-timers have seen their wages almost tripled (200% increase) through negotiations, meanwhile part-timers arent even keeping up with inflation let alone minimum wage. and its not starting wages that are the problem, its that even with a good amount of seniority, we arent seeing decent raises [/QUOTE]
