UPS says they will remain neutral about the union but "O" is still up to their same old BS. The same old BS your gonna get if you remain non union. Get a card and sign it. Fight like hell to get a stack of cards to pass out to your brothers and tell them why they should sign them !!!

What makes you think that UPS won't do that to the part-timers anyway? That's why one of the things we are going to push for is a limit on the number of part-timers(casuals) and all current part-timers be grandfathered in so they will become full-time if they so choose. Like it was pointed out in a previous post, NMFA has no part-timers, so it shouldn't be a problem getting that into our contract also.dvr49 said:mossbackman:
Just think about this. UPS pay's it's part timers on this scale 8.50 to start, 9.00 after 90 days, 9.50 after 1 yr., 10.00 2 yrs., 10.50 3yrs.,11.50 4yrs. plus 1.00 per hr. more for SKILLED positions. 3.5 hrs shift guarantied, 17.5 hrs per wk. and they do have some benefits. Thats for anybody gaining seniority after 2002 seniority before 2002 is higher. Now that's not drivers I have no idea what they start at, I did see a post that a shifter or jockey starts at 8.50 and it's part time also If you don't believe this check out post #2 by Mike01 on the UPS forum under PART TIME he is a UPS worker. My son applied for an unloader position and that's the same scale they gave him in the interview.
Now I'm not saying this could happen at UPSF but do you really think that freight is going to get more than package has? Just think how many full time dock and jockey positions UPSF has, and what they could save if they were part time. The people screaming for the union should be careful what they wish for.
sounds like the propagada machine is on full blast.....mossbackman said:At the Fontanna, Ca Terminal "O" Dock Sups are telling the dock workers if they go union they will be made 4 hour casuals and they will loose all their benefits.
