Attention Part Timers!!!

McDonald’s is always hiring
If you can’t do the job ups don’t want ya

I suppose you are against creating more fulltime jobs then

 

[TeltBender]

99% of the people that don't want to be FT drivers are not disabled. For the ones that are disabled it's the 99% that are hurting their chances because they joined a transportation company that's primary FT job is driving and think that a special job should be created to fit their life style.

Are you saying we should only use part time labor for inside work?

 

[TeltBender]

Forced???

Nobody is being "forced" to do anything at UPS.

There are clear choices to be made and there are consequences for those choices, plain and simple.
Hopefully, as it was in 1997 and every contract since, additional full-time opportunities will be created.

....but one thing is for sure, nobody has ever been "forced" to take a part-time or full-time job opportunity at UPS.

Read the full sentence then come back. I guess you saw the word “forced” and decided to regurgitate a whole paragraph about muh huh nobody is forced to do anything in life!

Nah, create as many full times as you need

I’m ashamed of the drivers that have the “screw the pters” mentality. That’s not a brotherhood.

Get on the gravy train. More for us! Anyway, most part timers move on after a few years.

Part timers already have it tough enough, without their union brothers sabotaging them. At most locals, the company can get rid of any part timer whenever they want and for the most trivial reasons. In RTW states, most part timers aren't even in the union, when they are disposed of like some temp worker in the private sector. They are treated no different than a ditch digger.

If you are in a Right To Work state, and have tried or requested to join the union, and the local has drug their feet; not returned your calls; or generally ignored your request then TRANSFER the hell out of there! If you stay, chances are your UPS career will come to a permanent end, eventually.

Not everyone needs to work full-time. There is no reason to run people off, that have more options than being a 50-70 hour per week wage slave -- other than pure pettiness.

In my Local (RTW state) well over 90% of all hourlies are Teamsters. Pretty good considering the transit nature of UPS PT hourlies.

May I ask how a part time car washer has any way of knowing the union status of his coworkers?

Seems like a number you might have just made up.

Last weeks Union meeting.

Actually, there is an easier way to find out.

If you look at the Local Unions LM-2 reports.... it's listed.

Only time I am in the office is for the supervisor to sign my grievance papers for having delivery drivers working car wash.
