Should part time employees make the same rate as full time employees?

[HarryWarden]

Because you’re describing a FT job.

So maybe they should pay him a FT rate

Why not just go full time instead of working 2-3 jobs? These people talk about part time poverty line they don’t have any choice in the matter. Yes, if you only choose to work part time, then you deserve poverty.

Is the company going to create 100,000 FT jobs from the PT jobs?

Do you really believe a Union job should be a minimum wage job?

Not UPS...go somewhere else.

You go somewhere else. Like maybe a non Union job where you will feel more at home.

I agree. Women should stay home and let the men go to work!

We’d all have higher wages, and kids that listened better that’s for sure.

These guys are the worst. They will bash the union while reaping the benefits of being in the union.

Give up your union job and try fed ex

No why? Other places have full time jobs available. I worked 2 jobs for 5 yrs before I got into feeders full time. If u want to get full time it’s possible. Just takes patience. Problem is we have guys in PT all of their lives because they get a full benefits pkg plus pension and don’t want to work, then they expect more before the FT get theirs. That’s called bull!

And someone else raising your kids letting them get away with everything. Which is probably the root cause of 90% of the problems society has nowadays.

That's the truth

 

[Thebrownblob]

45 years and he is exactly correct. Low wage PT jobs is just an incentive to create more low wage PT jobs.

Nope the companies never cared about paying money. They care about the benefits and the pension. Even a part timer still is only going to cost them half as much.

So if the company paid the same rate part time as full time, they would want to create more full time jobs, so they only have to pay 1 guys insurance instead of 2 for the same work

What happened to the patriarchy!!

Bingo

Just the same way that it is cheaper to pay the drivers overtime instead of putting extra routes in.

Nope if that was the case, we would’ve had a lot more drivers over the years. Doesn’t make sense to you and me but they don’t want to make those pension obligations if they don’t have to. They still despise the 22.3 jobs they were forced to give.

Wasn’t that one of the biggest issues of the 97 strike was part time working eight hours?

Yep, it was right up there.

Actually one of the old timers told me company was pissed and forced everyone to actually stay the full eight hours after the strike lol.

That makes no sense at all.
