[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1089431, member: 43436"] If you're covered by the CBA and work less than 17 hours per week, that's your fault. Lack of hours aren't unique to UPS -- it's a common complaint among many low-wager earners. I worked a second PT job a few years ago and would average three to four 3-hour shifts per week -- my weekly take-home check averaged less than $60, before gas money -- and the company kept hiring new employees & replacing ones that quit. But I fully agree that the union should push for a 4-hour guarantee. When the last contract was negotiated and the issue was brought up, hall addressed it by saying it wasn't a major concern of the PT ranks because pretty much everyone who wanted to work more than four in a day got the opportunity. It's become an issue during the last several years because first-year help is dirt cheap (since benefits are now differed), and therefore the company takes advantage of the super low-cost help. Still, I haven't heard -- and highly doubt if -- the issue's on the table. Meanwhile, there's still a fair number of PTers on here complaining about the number of hours they work every day (too many). [/QUOTE]
