[QUOTE="PT Stewie, post: 3680171, member: 12889"] I can sympathize with your situation. The first time I met KH face to face I explained to him as a part time steward my job was to an advocate for people like you or having similar situations. His answer was honestly, I am paraphrasing here but the union "didn't care to much about part timers" That has always stuck with me. That being said I believe to my core that you will not get a better deal for the combination of pay and benefits for a part time job anywhere and not thanks to UPS but your fellow Teamsters. I missed a lot of ball games and school events for my youngest child because of my second job. I regret that very much but benefits, food on the table and college tuition were my responsibility so I did what I had to. The pay and benefits @ UPS were way better than anything my wife could have received part time. The kids are grown and all have jobs and a good work ethic maybe because of their parents example. The reason I stay after 20 years is because healthcare for my wife would be an extra $500.00 a month when I gross that for 1 week Part time at UPS. [/QUOTE]
