[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2538104, member: 14176"] Part time jobs, by definition, imply that the employee has other interests/options outside the vocation, or are at an entry level. Full time jobs, by definition, carry with it an entire different level of commitment that clearly makes it a "career". With these two distinctions in mind, two different seniority lists are justified for part and full time employees by this "classification" only. Once an employee chooses a "full time career", in my opinion, they should be afforded the right to carry their full time seniority from full time job, to full time job, within the Company. While I have no immediate intentions of bidding to feeders after 22+ years in packages, I find it remarkable that it can be considered "fair" that those years would mean next to nothing, in many regards, in comparison to a 5 year off street hire? Increased seniority within the full time classification should always carry with it increased rights and privileges. Thankfully that's exactly how it works in my Local. [/QUOTE]
