That's the point I was trying to make to him.....pters could control the outcome of the master to get more money and more ft jobs but they choose not to vote..... .so they must be content with the situation
General President's health failing?

That's how it will always be. It has always been this way. In 1982 they changed the rate for part timers to 8.00 from 11.74. The part times red didn't vote then either.
I don't see a strong future,my friend.

The Gop has waged a war on unions since Right To work and the Taft Hartley ace. And really always before that. You think it's crazy that 30% vote? Just imagine how man union members teamsters vote gop and will make an argument that democrats suck as well. I know they both suck but the GOP want to rid th United States of unions all together.
Our own members and leadership are doing a pretty darn good job of killing the union.

I don't shop at Walmart. I cringe when I hear a member say he shops at Walmart. These are the things that happen right in front of our collective eyes.

Hell yes, they got it over on our negotiators. It was like stealing candy from a baby.

Oh yes we voted. But just like the last contract it did not matter how anybody voted.

So how do you recall it all shaking down back in 1982?
So you just ignore the majority acceptance of the NMA right.

I know how you are.......you could get a $20 an hour raise......work 4 hours and get paid for 8 and still cry and complain that your being treated unfairly,the contract was concessionary and the union got out negotiated

You act like because you make X dollars an hour and get X benefits, you should shut up and stop complaining.
You have never worked at UPS, have you.
Nice name though.
Since you have no clue as to what we do, let me tell you a few things.
PT is a revolving door.
They bring them into my building in groups of 30 about once or twice a month.
Because no one wants to work that hard for $10 an hour, and end up quitting.
Great job H and H on raising the starting wage at UPS a whole 50 cents in 17 years.
And a company that made $400 million in profits shouldn't get away with crying about healthcare for its employees.
Great job there too.........not.

They end up quitting.... because the majority just don't want to work, period.
10 years ago the company had a "clean in, clean out" policy for cell phones. (for part-timers)
They used to discharge them for texting or using their phone while on the clock.
Now it's pretty much a free-for-all. Including supervisors.
The problem is the generation.
Next thing ya know, they will be protesting for "safe areas" in the building....
free from the oppression of management.
Should they be paid more ? Sure.
But, until they start voting and not quitting.... nothing is going to change for them.
That's just a fact of life. The priority will be for the full-timers.
It always leaves me scratching my head, when people complain about the company making money.
Don't we want them to ? And, because they do, they should have to give it all to the employees ?
I laugh when people say "well, we do all the work".
And.... you are compensated for it. No more, no less. I just don't get the mentality.

You saying roofers don't work?
It's crap pay and you know it.
The only people that can afford to work at UPS part time are living with mommy and daddy, because the job doesn't pay enough to live any where else.
