[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 960905, member: 29972"] The next contract needs to recognize the growing number of "career" part-timers. Right now the union is under the impression that EVERY part-timer wants to go full-time and therefore surrenders all seniority rights to full-timers. We need to make sure that all seniority is respected in all aspects of the workplace. -If the union wants to create a new 22.2 or 22.3 job, they need to do it responsibly, they should wait until a part-timer vacates the position before converting it to full-time. There's no need to create animosity between us union members by making us fight to preserve our job and/or kick someone out of their job. There is WAY more than enough turn-over with PTers to not need to displace one to create a FT combo. Ive seen broken windows and slashed tires over this issue before. Its not right to take someone elses work! -If someone must be displaced/bumped from their position. Then their seniority should be the deciding factor. Seniority is Seniority, whether it be FT or PT, we all put our years in at this company, PT and FT seniority should be treated equally. And as mentioned before, it shouldn't even be an issue, there is so much turn-over in the PT ranks that there is always a spot opening up that someone can slide into if they need to displace/bump.
