[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3576090, member: 73024"] That's the point, that's exactly what the company is looking for. You think they're going to spin the 22.4 language as anything other than "More full-time jobs for part-timers"? They know that the part-timers have traditionally been overlooked for at least 30 years. Seeing as how it's partially the full-timers' fault for pushing through contracts that piss on their part-time brothers and sisters, you think those same part-timers, especially long-time part-timers, are going to care if they pie is sliced more evenly? Again, I wouldn't vote "yes" to a contract that includes 22.4 language that weakens the union as a whole, but don't be surprised if a lot of part-timers do take it upon themselves to vote and pass through that kind of language so they can finally start getting theirs. It shouldn't be surprising at all to the full-timers when (if) that happens. If you see historic turnout rates for part-timers voting, you'll know why... [/QUOTE]
