They'll get the same pay raise we will. Representatives from both the union and management quickly claimed their proposals as the most beneficial for students. UPS offered 200 new full-timers per year. We want full-time jobs so we can afford to pay our bills. But if they gotta stick around that long, they get discouraged and quit.
Some people walk in the first day and quit.
Flaherty said UPS's offer was more fair since the part-time system was created to accommodate students and includes a tuition reimbursement program. He then accused the union of potentially eliminating jobs by damaging the company's customer base through the strike. He added that union leadership was not allowing its membership to vote as a whole to end the strike. The Teamster leadership has been irresponsible by not allowing our people to vote on the proposal. They are jeopardizing our jobs, families and certainly our costumers.
