[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 249730"] If this turns out to be true and thats a big IF, this is a mixed bag for the PTimers. While the Jump to 10.50 (am I to believe preloader/sorter rates would be 11.50?) is a nice touch, the no benefits for a year thing is not. I don't know if that will fly in MA with our new healthcare laws (not sure, its a big mess honestly). Still I believe the 8.50 thing will not attract any more workers because while the raise is nice, its just raising it to what it really should have been for a while now and now they have to wait a year for benes. Most newhires quit the first or second week anyway so that raise won't help all that much (some might stick it out). I don't really want to get into this contract because as Red said it doesn't affect management employees (directly anyway), but the PTimers seem to be getting the short end of the stick again. I find that disheartening because even if the shifts are shorter, they work (most of them) just as hard while they're on the clock and are just as responsible for this company's success as the FTimers. Laugh at that if you want its the truth. I busted my ass for my drivers while I was a loader (2.5+ years) and they were always appreciative and while many were disappointed that I "sold out" they understood my reasoning for doing so (and no it wasn't all because of money, but that did play a part). Staffing for our shift is atrocious and I don't see it getting better if this rumored information turns out to be true. [/QUOTE]
