[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 5934487, member: 6276"] It is not to bring harm to another union member. The whole intention of the language stated is to protect full time Union jobs. That's the entire point and if the company is using part timers to do a full-time job, possibly two part timers to break up a full-time position, etc, then it needs to be stopped via the JOC. If it stalls then it needs to be brought up to the NLRB because we can't have the company hiding/dissolving full-time positions into part-time, regardless if your local agreed to it. Protection of full-time positions amd also creating full-time positions is the primary goal for any and all Unions. Hey, this could actually benefit you in that the language can force the company to make you a full-time employee. You need to understand the bigger picture and what a Union is truly all about. Part-time positions in fact go against the very root of what Unions were created for. Unions fought hard for decades to bring the workforce to an 8 hour day, 40 hour work week. They fought hard to protect the workforce in a more sustainable full-time position and not positions that starved workers of hours/pay, (part time hours), and also fought against excessive work hours. Hence, why the company gets penalties having to pay 1.5x for overtime over 8, for a 6th punch, and 2x if they work Sundays or whatever that employees 7th day might be. [/QUOTE]
