[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 109423, member: 1957"] "new parttimers don't vote on contracts-......." You're right, not when the contract comes up for negotiations every 10 years. Most of the PT'ers have gone on to bigger and better things while the career employee continues to trudge along hoping his/her mind and body will make it to retirement. When contract time does come you will see the company hosting cookouts, soda pop, hot dogs and burgers in hopes of enticing the PT'ers to vote yes. The company knows there are many more PT'ers than FT'ers and will offer the PT'ers a treat like a $1000 signing bonus (extra beer money for the frat parties) knowing full well there is language in the proposal designed to undermine the career employee (such as sub contracting feeder work). Do you think PT'ers care about the language that applies to FT employees? Maybe you can explain how I, as a PT'er in the late 70's, was making 12-15 dollars an hour (can't remember exact figure) and the company had more managers per employee than now. Mark my words........the company will romance the PT'ers knowing they can/will carry the vote. [/QUOTE]
