free at last.......
My solution to part-time wages is this:
1. When hired in, give them the option of having benefits or not having them. Those that choose not to (college student,etc.), raise the starting wage. Give them a one time chance to reverse that decision should their situation change some time in the future.
2. For the college student..... the company loans them the money for the union initiation fee with the understanding that if they are still working (haven't quit) 6 mos. later, the loan will be forgiven. Most students who work really need that money and it is really discouraging when they get their check and see the net amount.
This would probably go a long way in retaining these people and at least slow down the revolving door of part-time employment.
As for the bonuses (if they're being offered)......I'll take mine in wages as opposed to a lump sum. I find it hard to believe there is any truth to it, anyway.
The only way I would believe it.... is if there is a proposal for the company to get out of Teamster pensions attached.
