[QUOTE="TheWeasel, post: 5561678, member: 93472"] "We want to fight for PT to get a good raise this contract" [I]Proceeds to not fight for a PT raise at all. Gives half of them a paycut. [/I] "So that's where I think it should be. Otherwise there won't be any money left over for for the rest of us." Over 200 hubs across the country start Part Timers at or above $17. About 90 of those are at or above $20-25 with the highest ones paying $26-28 (Jackson/Cape Cod/Eagon). While I think it is delusional to expect a $30 starting wage, it is equally delusional to expect anything less than $20 and it not get voted down by membership. You want scabs? That's how you get scabs. When the company pushes for higher wages than the union while not asking for dues you're gonna have people crossing the picket line. Hell, [I]I'd [/I]be considering crossing the picket line and I come from a strong union household. It sickens me even typing that out. Your statement regarding a 10 year employee just now making 20 and new hires demanding that is not a new hire entitlement problem. It is a problem with a company, and by extension the union, that has failed to adequately provide for appropriate raises that keep up with both inflation and the competition. [/QUOTE]
