I believe this has been said before but if your overall goal is a twenty dollar start rate for part-timers it would be unusual for your first proposal to be $20.

Local officers around the nation are leaking to the members that the wages offered to members were good. But it leaves the future part-timers behind.

For those demanding $25 its not part of the discussion

According to Business Insider:

Firebrand Teamsters president Sean O’Brien said at the time that negotiations needed to end by July 5, in order to provide membership and leadership time to review and vote, even with weeks remaining until the July 31 expiration. O’Brien also said at a Saturday press conference that the union was pushing to raise the wage for part-time UPS workers from $15.50 to $20 per hour, according to Business Insider.

Of course Seanie Boy has always seen 20 as the cap and trade off. He never expected the bottom up push back. Maybe he should really start thinking like a militant trade unionist and not a political operative.
