[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 3770245, member: 4550"] If the company's test runs at rolling out automated operations at select buildings yields real fruit, there might well be a lot less part timers for the union to collect dues from by the time an 82 year old Hoffa proposes hourlies pay the company for the privilege of working 70 hours a week in the month of December. There's just no telling exactly what the future looks like, but what we do know is that in many places, part timers quit often within weeks or even days after being hired. It's pretty easy to feel like a throwaway employee when all indications are that the company treats the positions in most need of staffing as throwaway jobs. What passes for training on the preload shift now is basically a joke. New hires are thrown into situations they simply can't process and if the training sup has no clue what he or she is doing the trainees aren't learning the right lessons anyway. As soon as drivers arrive for work and see the mess they are left with, the feedback the new hires witness is immediately and overwhelmingly negative. Crummy pay + Crummy hours + Crummy training + Crummy workplace environment = Crummy job which in turn usually produces Crummy unmotivated employee. If anything, I'm often surprised at how many longtime part timers have managed to keep a decent attitude, an unwavering work ethic and a sense of accountability in while constantly surrounded by near total incompetence and dysfunction.
