Sorts shutting down

[Thebrownblob]

The point was any improvement in the PT pension would cost the company very little because so few ever collect.

Sure I don’t disagree but it will also not matter since part-timers don’t vote, and the ones that do probably aren’t worried about the Pension but about more money upfront.

I think your misunderstanding about part time is that most people have no intention on staying part time their whole career, it’s a very small percentage, of people who plan on doing that. The vast majority of retirees were part time at one point, and decided to go full-time, and those people will collect both a part-time pension and a full-time pension.

Not sure about the numbers but a lot of working mothers choose to stay PT for the benefits and extra income. Also some use the second job to supplement their FT income and the benefits. Just saying an improvement in the PT pension would be a selling point for both the company and the Union. The PT that do vote are very interested in the pension and any improvement.

My line of thinking comes from not being a boot licking company man. “Provided me with a good life”..WRONG i worked for every single penny and then some.

Be careful if you hurt his feelings you’ll be put on ignore

I don't think delivery drivers are going to get air conditioned package cars this contract. Or $50/hr.

You were saying??

I haven't seen any AC in package cars or any delivery drivers making $50/hr.

And we haven't seen you finally admit.... that you take advantage of your situation ?

Who wouldn't? LOL Should I give some of my pay back to the company to make you feel better?

The company might be cutting car wash jobs. Cheaper to go back to drivers gassing up and running thru the wash.

They have been trying in my building this year. Been laying off a FT washer and haven't filled a retired washers job yet. At the same time the company is forcing delivery drivers to work in the wash after they return to the building. Crazy times.

Waiting in line to go through the car wash was some of the easiest money

Yep.

Take as much as you can.... without having to earn it.

Right ?

After 46 years, I think I have earned it. No comment on laying off FT car washers and having delivery drivers do our work after they come off the road?

Going through the car wash is something drivers did forever.

Besides "extra work" in some areas, where in the contract does it state that any part-time position is guaranteed from replacement by a full-timer?

The company is not replacing PT jobs. Only FT car wash jobs replaced by delivery drivers for extra work.
