[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 755146, member: 18044"] Management will "promote" (if that's the right word) an hourly and make him a part-time Supervisor. But they won't hire and train anyone to take his place, so this all but guarantees that the shift will be one man short. Naturally, the Supervisor claims he has to work to fill in for the absent worker. But who's fault is that? Or Management will have advance notice that various workers will be absent due to Optional Holidays, Vacation, Breavement Leave, FMLA Leave, Disability, Workers Comp, Jury Duty, etc. These are planned, authorized absences. Yet Management will not make adequate advanced provisions to cover the absent workers, so Supervisors claim an unexpected manning crisis has arisen and they simply must fill in for the "no-shows." And then there's this Contract gem that discourages part-timers in the areas covered by the Company H&W Plan . . . Article 34 --- Health & Welfare and Pension Section 2—Part-Time Medical Coverage (b) Notwithstanding Section 1(d) above or any contrary provision in any Supplement, Rider, or Addendum, (i) individual health coverage will be made available to part-time employees hired after August 1, 2008 after twelve (12) months of active employment and (ii) spousal or dependant coverage will be made available to these part-time employees eighteen (18) months after their initial date of employment.
