[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 866448, member: 29972"] I don't see this "vision" of part-timers being involved ever happening. There was a time many decades ago when working part-time at UPS was a decent paying job and because of that, many of those part-timers were able to see what the union could offer and were involved in the union process. Now fast forward 20 years.... part-time work at UPS makes less than minimum wage in some places and as such, attracts workers that don't care about being involved in a union. Here are some numbers to ponder; - Part-time starting wage in 1982 was $8.00 /hr - Inflation statistics put that number equal to $17.82 /hr for the year 2010 - That means the union has essentially supported a $9.82 pay cut for us part-timers over the years. Is there really any surprise that part-timers aren't more involved? [/QUOTE]
