[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 5934724, member: 6276"] The value of an hours labor should always hold value, regardless if you're part time or full-time. The only thing that defines wether you are full-time or part time is the amount of hours you work. You either work 40 hours+ a week or you don't. Hours worked is the only thing that separates a full-time position from a part-time position. The value of that hours labor should never be devalued! As far as making a living, yes, I agree that to make a living, the goal should be working 40 hours minimum a week. We should never have entertained the idea to devalue an hour of labor times true value. Honestly, fighting for a greater pay rate per hour and retaining the value of a labor hour should never have been compromised as the higher cost of a part-time job might in fact make it less justified for corporations to use part-timers. The idea in what I'm saying is that higher cost of part-time might help in our battle to force corporations to create more full-time jobs. This idea is why ups gets penalties for using part time air drivers that do full-time work such as ground deliveries earning top rate for the day. Anyone that doesn't understand this, has a ton to reflect on. [/QUOTE]
