And honestly this is why I have zero sympathy for them, Full benefits, pension, plus vacation for 20 hours a week. And yes I did 6 years PT working 2 jobs. If you want more either put your time in or go FT when you get the chance.

Mu question always comes back to when is it cheaper to just pay me to come in early and load? Raising PT wages too high may price them out of jobs.

No joke. Went to the ER 3 times and had an ambulance ride one time. It would have cost me $75k for the three visits, and $2k for the ride. Only payed $75 for the 3 copays.

I know at least 3 ( 2 CPA's or some Finance-type, 1 Retail store owner), they all make very good money (except maybe the retail guy) and they have wives and kids. They all benefit from them working PT. I saw one moving a "can" ULD that goes into a jet and I swear a 95 year old man could move faster. The ball mats that the cans roll on literally do all the work.

Yea 100% they have every opportunity to better their life and make more then a “livable” wage but a lot choose not to.

That's why a lot of the new buildings are being automated.

My hub is automated and we roughly work close to 25-30hrs a week depending on volume. Unload is the easiest job, more than smalls imo. Smalls is a nightmare.
If you were working that many hours on a regular basis they should make it a full-time job

A lot of shifters work 10-13 hours a day. They’re getting
ed with the pension. I’ve mentioned this with the BA. Also, we don’t have OT after 5 here. People are dumbfounded when I tell them getting 5-6 hours a day isn’t exactly the norm.That sucks.A lot of shifters work 10-13 hours a day. They’re getting

Especially in smaller buildings like mine. Cheaper to just pay 7 or 8 drivers to load at OT rate than to pay a high PT wage and then another $30k+ in benefits.

I would still like to see the offer from. I don’t want to strike bc of part timers. Might be wrong for some but like I said they don’t deserve livable wages doing 3-4hrs a day

We are supposedly an automated building. It requires even more employees L O L now they just stand around and watch a belt.
How much do you think they should make per hour?

RIght I won't cross, but I Damn sure don't want to strike because of the PT wage.

In 1997 one of the main reasons we struck was to turn part time to full time. Not make them permanently part time.

Of course, during peak, seasonal pt was making more per hr than the permanent pt. Adding insult to injury, they also got a bonus each week just to show up every day!
AND, they still could not keep enough of the new hires on more than a few days or a week.
