[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5557064, member: 49065"] It is so much easier and profitable to work a current member 60 hours a week even with the overtime rather than pay into a newer member's pension and health and welfare plans. The physical attrition rate on their bodies will pay a dividend when they get older, another savings when most will not be able to collect their full pension benefits. Same principle applies to any part time position, it is much cheaper to maintain their pension and health and welfare benefits. So when a part timer works close to a 40 hour work schedule it robs monetary contributions going into the mostly Union controlled Pension and Healthcare plans. Another savings for the Company is Vacations and Optional days..the Company only pays 20 hours a week for a part timer compared to 45 for a full timer, also their monetary contributions going into their pension and health and welfare plans are far lower than a full timers... Right now with what is happening to our economy and the inflation rate hovering still around 8 percent these 22.4's and lower seniority members cannot afford to work just a 40 hour week, even our high seniority members have to count on their Overtime to pay their bills. Remember that this last Contract was pre - COVID...before the economy went into the toilet...the GWI annual raises in the 2018 contract were a joke back then..Hence it being voted DOWN, but that is another story...
