[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 980722, member: 18708"] Poor wording....what I should have said was "the number of jobs are specified in contract", unlike PT jobs. No. obviously the jobs are not guaranteed, per se, but they are at least a firm number that, given the alternative of an unknown number of throwaway PT jobs, is improved. Given the companies financial success, even within the economic downturn, you are arguing apples and oranges when you use "other empoyees places of work". We're not talking about that, we're talking about a consistent profiteer. Also it seems like a silly argument (not you SCB, but beentheredonethat for ex), trying to argue that the current PT jobs are not well on their way to becoming throwaways? Health benefits now extended to one year in many locations and below minimum wage starting pay in some states...just the beginning, imo. Add to that the cost of living, products, fuel, etc rising well beyond 2007s numbers, it's a no brainer imo. [/QUOTE]
