An insured part timer "makes" more than $600 a week. Anyway calling unemployment a "handout" is a joke. Also Trump's executive order is for $300. $1200 less a month, pretty close to the average rent or mortgage. This ain't gonna be pretty.

Surgical gowns, gloves, masks, certain ventilators and various testing supplies needed to respond to the coronavirus pandemic are on the FDA's first-ever list of medical devices in shortage. The shortage list was released hours after President Donald Trump touted the progress his administration has made in securing critical protective gear and other supplies.

It used to take 10 years to get vested as a part timer. Their pensions were a mythical plan almost nobody expected to see.


Absolutely correct.

The vesting retirement was reduced to 5 years, effective January 1, 1989.


I wasn't vested for part time years when I went driving but the changes were retroactive. I only get a couple of hundred a month for part time years but better than nothing.


Yep.

Effective August 1, 1990.

Making $600 a week since March is more than PT loaders make. Why can’t you get that through your thick skull?
They should have never given that. It's a disincentive to work. Didn't like that from the beginning. When tax time comes around, people are going to be hurting when they realize they gotta pay tax on that money.

But you continue to avoid the obvious, PT work should not be only source of income to make a good living, which is what you want. That and bankrupting the union.

Remember the good ole days, when you would just be happy with some PPE? You're goalposts keep moving, you'll never be happy.

PT loaders aren’t working PT.

Fake news.
Limited supply doesn't mean anyone is going without that type of PPE from all possible sources.

Try again leftie.

So donald's hand picked FDA chief is lying?
Name a hospital that is going without.
You lefties would be plastering it all over the news. But you're not. Because it isn't happening.

"We have tripled the number of N95 masks on hand to over 40 million, tripled the number of gowns to over 15 million and quadrupled the number of ventilators to 69,000," Trump said at a briefing on Friday, referring to the country's Strategic National Stockpile.

This just in; he lies.
 
You just can't stay on topic, can you? You're proven wrong, then try and change subject to something else you'll be wrong on, nice job.
How is working ever pay more than sitting home getting paid? You’re not in the union. You can push out any numbers you want. Making $600 a week to sit at home is better pay than working for less money.
