[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1134342, member: 15470"] To appease the swell of part-timers who are still salty about the company not fulfilling those 10,000 combo positions. I'm positive those 2,000+ "new" combo positions won't be fulfilled. And this will be a GOOD distraction from that, because you'd have low seniority part-timers looking at that $16.10 (I think that's what it was) pay rate for driving, and they'll be tripping over themselves to get in there, not realizing that the company could and would use them as part-timer drivers in perpetuity. If this passes, the company would have strategically, and quite brilliantly so, friend'd over it's full-time drivers by cutting into their OT by using cheaper labor for doing the same job. While merely dangling a carrot in front of the part-timers to draw their attention away from "new" combo positions that are unlikely to be honored. It's really just a creative way to keep us part-time indefinitely, and save the company tens-of-thousands of dollars per employee on salary and pension. [/QUOTE]
