[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 5638813, member: 4550"] FT's aren't "playing into corporate's hands" when they implore PT employees to take a whole 2 minutes to vote down a contract that widens the very disparity that you endlessly keep wailing away about being so unfair to you. Anybody with enough common sense would know that the last thing corporate wanted 5 years ago was for FT employees to exert precious effort and time when the window was as short to mount a campaign to plead with PT employees to help all hourlies BUT ESPECIALLY THEMSELVES AND SACRIFICE TWO WHOLE MINUTES OF THEIR LIVES and simply cast a vote in their own self interest. You can try to ignore the history all you want and that still isn't going to change it. Spin it any way you want to and try to deflect blame all you want, but if PT workers indeed know that management wants them to suffer and yet they by and large won't so much as lift a finger and simply vote after how many consecutive contracts than way too many of them quit on themselves and helped cement their fate. Don't blame FT's for not reaching down low enough to help pull them up when they can't be bothered exert enough energy to reach their arms up in an effort to join hands and thus unify. Part-timers have had how many opportunities to join the fight over the last 20 years or so. The "barely scraping by" tears and "don't plan on making a career here" nonsense isn't going to win converts if the majority of the 60% of the workforce can't, or more accurately won't bother to make any effort to help themselves. With guys like you dreaming any excuse out of thin air in an attempt to exonerate PT workers of having to particapate in even the most minimal way to help themselves, it wouldn't surprise me if a supermajority of them pulled yet another no-show this time around even if O'Brien did secure them double the wage they are at now. Of course at that point, you will be back here stating it's "beacuse too any full-timers are really tools of the boardroom in Atlanta" and "Too many of us didn't feel FT's respect us." [/QUOTE]
