Retro check is in!

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Going to the core problem; maybe we, the union, didn't represent the PT well enough to get them a fair wage for their work. Just my opinion on their compensation.

They got a nice raise this contract. How many part time jobs have health insurance, paid vacation and a pension?

Preload making $13, working just as hard as we do but with less OT. No, they should only pay dues optionally (I did). We should have their backs regardless.

So you think PT workers should reap the benefits of being Union (Benfits, Pension, Vacation,Etc..) but not have to pay for it. Then you think the Union that they don't contribute to should fight for them to make more money?

Sorry but $32.50 a month isn't going to bankrupt anyone with 2 jobs and if you work PT you should have 2 jobs. Anyone that says it will is just looking for something for nothing.

I'm glad of the raise but our loaders should be paid at 2/3 driver rate IMO. That's what made such great drivers/loaders for the first 80 years of the company.

Only the most desperate are willing to start PL, hiring pool for RPCD seems slimmer than it should be these days.

Yes

So....

You only pay dues, when it's convenient ?

 

[542thruNthru]

Yes

Got it so you want something for nothing.

Yep, Scab.

Well if they was in the union, they could have voted this contract down. The part timers out number the full timers

No, i sought out my steward when I was PT and asked to join/pay dues my first week. I proudly am a member and a bid route RPCD with great pay/benefits because of our union.

Don't call me that please

Yes

Let me know.... how that works out for you.

 

[CoffeeStainedUniform]

Let me know.... how that works out for you.

I'm saying our PT system has a problem. 1) do you agree or disagree? 2) if you agree what are ideas you have to fix it?

Ironic.... isn't it ?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Ironic.... isn't it ?

They hold the power. The company knows that most of them do not vote , that's why the full timers always got more.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

The company's system, is the problem.

It could be changed.... with the stroke of a pen.


Why do you think UPS is not willing to do that ?

I agree, they certainly gain when we bicker. I also think we have a responsibility to do what we can.

Too late, he already did

What power? The majority did not vote for trump but we got him anyway. I friend any PT member tried to organize the PT ranks both the company and the Union would have him gone.

All that they have to do is show they vote. Then maybe they might get something a little bit better. Until then, they are only going to get the crumbs that fall off the table.

You sure about that?

So, you paid dues as part timer

But you don’t think today’s part timers need to pay dues
