[QUOTE="Top Fuel Friday, post: 478142, member: 21093"] I've heard whispers from other P/T'ers on the 2DA sort here that they are trying this. I seriously doubt anything will come of it though. I really don't see how they can unionize a management function, not to say it can't be done. I don't know how management is at other gateways, but at worldport full time sups, managers, and above are mostly hands off in the operation. They set goals and expectations, but the P/T sup is the one who gets the job done, from a management perspective, on a night to night basis. Most of the time by using their people skills and hopefully not doing the job themselves. We're still getting our 27.5 hours a week guarantee, even if we work less. But they make us to stay our 5.5 hours a day even if we have nothing to do, except Friday when they are down to let us out early, so we send e-mails, get ready for the next day, or browse the internet. We reciueved a 4.something% raise in January to make up for loosing our christmas bonus, lost o/t, and some other things but they capped our yearly raise in march at 2 or 2.5%. It's not much, but it's better than nothing, though 2% of a PTers salary is pretty close to it. As long as they keep paying for my school, you won't hear me complain. 100% tuition at UofL for 5.5 hours of work a night isn't a bad trade off at all. [/QUOTE]
