[QUOTE="detmaintainer, post: 4239289, member: 33093"] In our local they hire all the maintenance and mechanics off the street full time starting out. The GASSER/WASHER/PORTER position people are hired in part-time. It takes 15 to 20 years to get a full time porter job. There is also a provision in the contract that prevents an employee from bidding or bumping to a lower classification. This prevents an older journeyman from getting a porters job. The maintenance men and tractor/package car mechanics make $2.01 more an hour than a porter. The real kick In the shorts is a trailer mechanic makes around $4 an hour less than a porter. This comes out to around a $250,000 difference in pay over the course of a carreer. On top of that the trailer mechanics have to provide there own tools. The company supplies all the porters mops brooms dustpans etc. Recently they were complaining about the tool allowance. They said they wanted a broom allowance ! [/QUOTE]
