So what are yall thoughts parttimers

[BigUnionGuy]

In my building I am not aware of any BA or stewards talking to new hires unless the new hires seek them out, I'm in 177.

That would be a good opportunity for you to bring that up at the next monthly meeting.

Giving a "heads up" to your Steward or BA.... will go a long way.

Shall be permitted vs required is what I think is an important difference. In my building I am not aware of any BA or stewards talking to new hires unless the new hires seek them out, I'm in 177.

I have no idea who our current twilight sort Union Steward is. Our previous Steward is now a BA. And a good one.

Wow…you got the short end of the stick. 10% of mine were top notch….60% decent….20% garbage….10% could rot in hell.

That sounds like the typical American. I have a big house it’s almost paid for. No boat, because it’s a money trap, no car payments since 2006. A wife who has been faithful as have I. Three great kids who I never once regretted the cost of raising and who are almost on there own now.

No motorcycle. You disappoint me.

Very true, what was I thinking? I’ve literally been disappointed for the last three weeks because I cannot ride yet. It’s too damn cold and rainy, moving forward I will rectify this oversight on my part.

First thing I do when I wake up is to find a part timer and make them kiss my feet.

Used to tell me that all of the time. "I'm FT so you have to do what I say." The Union said different.

Give all the money to the full timers.

The part timers don't stay long nor do they vote.

Pretty ignorant comment.
While it may be true where you work is certainly not where I work. We have more part timer than full timers and easily more than half have been with the company more than a decade. We’ve got one who has been here 45 years, 2 more over 30 years and 20+ more with 15 or more years. We have 10 air drivers all with more than 10 years.
And every single employee at our site voted during the last contact …yes 100%
Our part timers work their asses off

Why did you go full-time? Seems like it was an easy fix you got plenty of seniority
