[QUOTE="705red, post: 701233, member: 5229"] Stoni up to 1982 everyone made the same rate. That is when a 2 tier wage package was put in. In 1997 we went on strike, mainly because part timers were getting screwed. The starting pay went up from $8 to $8.50 and that was the only time in the last 28 years. We also gained 10,000 plus new fulltime jobs for the part time ranks. The last two contracts have been more geared towards fulltimers, its no lie. A huge reason IMO is because many part timers do not care to get involved. Go to your union meeting and look to see how many in attendance are part time. Very few. Part timers will allow themselves to get bullied and pushed around by management, they will allow sups to work and they will be the first to cut side deals with the company. Here it took 36 months from seniority for a part timer to get medical coverage for family which could have taken up to 39 months to attain, under the new contract its 18 months, which helped many part timers here in Chicago. Dont believe everything you read on here, but there are plenty of people that would like to help you and others and than some people are here just to disrupt. [/QUOTE]
