Why is a Union job PT with McDonald wages?
Don’t ask me, I haven’t been here for 40 years. Look I get why some people stay part time, and I get that for others it’s a stepping stone to a full time job.
But it pisses me off to no end that we have serious issues that never get resolved. And we waste all of this bargaining leverage on part time wages.
$21/hour starting rate doesn’t fix anything. It won’t fix anything because PT pay is set up wrong. In 5 years we’ll be in the same position we are now, crying that $21 is poverty wages and we need $27 because everything is more expensive.
