[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 496723, member: 9491"] I do not see how we did not see this coming in the last contract negotiations. Supervisors working is a problem, but the meat of the story is in the fact that no one can work doubles or get overtime. The company covered this very easily with the latest contract language and we took it Hook, Line, and sinker. Now that the company does not have to pay benefits for new-hire part-timers for 1 year, they can over staff as many people as they want to cover the work. The just send home the newbies if they do not need them, and no questions are asked for 2 reasons. 1. The new people do not know the contract language. 2. Better yet, we hire nothing put thugs who do not need a job. So they go home 2 or 3 times a week and do not care. The building I work at is overstaffed by about 20%. They have the usual call ins and send the rest home every night. No gripes from the low end of the totum pole and it cost the company basically nothing to handle it this way. Before this new contract, they would not overstaff near as much due to the cost of insurance after 90 days for the new hires. During the vacation picking in October, I noticed only 11 people out of a sort list of 126 people qualified for vacation. That means less than 10% of the staff has been on board for 1 year. Get ready, it is going to get worse, just as the 9.5 language is not the same as agreed upon in the contract. We can blame ourselves. [/QUOTE]
