[QUOTE="UnderPaidSlave412, post: 1367861, member: 54116"] Ok, fair enough but wouldn't you agree that a simple solution to this problem would be to simply create more full time positions and less part time ones? Oh but wait... that would bankrupt the union wouldn't it? Any maroon that can do simple mathematics is probally asking the question, "I only pay ~$30 a month in union dues and healthcare costs much more then that! Where is the difference coming from?". I will tell you, it is coming from the under represented new hires. These poor guys get no hours, horrible wages, zero health care and have to pay ridiculous initiation fees to the union. Then most of them just decide to quit because they deem this job unworthy of their time. So why should the union stand up for these people? If they did, teamcare would bankrupt the union or our union dues would probally skyrocket. I don't know the full details of teamcare but I doubt UPS is paying enough to make up the difference. So would you say that, the more new hires that come and go, the better off the unions bank statements are? Because to my perspective, it seems like the union is only looking out for their own bank rolls and doing nothing for these new hires and part timers. I mean we pay the union to represent our best interests, but I just don't see it. [/QUOTE]
