[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 785650, member: 12508"] Wow, you caught me on a typo. Good for you. My intent was to show that part-timers seldom receive OT, not that they don't get it at all. Your position and view on RTD's are both ill-informed...as usual. Again, my main point is that PT employees are usually on the short end of the stick at FedEx, which is by design. You can toss out theoretical numbers on having a PT workforce, but it's very clear that Fred saves big bucks with part-timers. You ignored my point that by having the ability to coerce or bait ($$$) a starving part-timer into doing coverage work, that FedEx pays straight time, not OT, and this happens a lot. As usual, it's all on Fred's terms. What would happen if every part-timer in the entire company refused to work anything but their scheduled [I]regular [/I]hours during peak? A[I] massive[/I] implosion of the entire system, and a ton of Code 01's and missed or late pickups. PT abuse is part of the plan, designed right into the Express operations from the get-go. If they need you, you might get to work 10 hours, but if they don't, management will happily send you home with 2 hr minimums. Peak is the perfect example, because up until Xmas part-timers are loved, needed, and required. On 12-26, however, they are lucky to get more than their 17.5. Fred's way, Fred's terms, and Fred reaps the benefits of a flexible workforce that he knows is easily manipulated in most cases. Keep on pretending that FedEx plays fair with it's workers, because it's a huge lie. Spin-it, explain it, twist it however you like, but it's not right, and you know it. [/QUOTE]
