[QUOTE="What'dyabringmetoday???, post: 250448, member: 10135"] Perhaps this is off topic, but I would like to add my view on the part-time situation. Where I work, a majority of the part-time employees are willing to work ten or eleven hours a day and will do whatever it takes to get extra hours. I am not saying that is bad to want more hours and income because that is the idea. I simply feel that people working over eight hours a day on a regular basis should be full-time, not part-time. It is hard for some to understand, but if the part-timers continue to perform full-time work just so they can get extra hours, they will be waiting a very long time for a full-time opportunity. Many do not agree with my view on this and I respect their opinions as well. I was part-time for ten years so I understand how these folks feel. I never performed full-time work nor did the others I worked with back then. I think that the handwriting is on the wall with this next contract. Something is wrong when full-time drivers are told to be done in 9.5 hours but part-timers can work 14. Sorry for the length of this, as I know nothing will change based on internet rants. [/QUOTE]
