You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
You could use all of that extra time to develop a skill for a little side money too if need be.
If you’re paying anyone less than 15 an hour

Twenty hours on the belts and my own electrical side work would be a pretty sweet gig.

He's actually going to school for welding and working his FT job. Don't know how he's doing it. I'd be exhausted.

And some people want to know why some of us don't go FT. Too busy enjoying life.

Some have family members with medical issues they have to care for as well....

Because most part timers don't vote.
So they cater to the people that do vote.
So they cater to the 10 % fulltimers that do vote..... got you !

Lol actually my family is in perfect health. Insurance here is expensive (I pay just shy of 500 every two weeks for coverage for my daughter and myself...and that's the "bronze" plan my company offers, which is the cheapest one. My wife pays just shy of 400 for coverage for her and my newborn son).

Not always about the hourly wage. As mentioned before the benefits are sweet. The pension UPS offers (for FT) is better than any government pension, unless you include politicians. Congressmen and Senators at the state and federal level have it pretty good.
Anyway, the majority of your peers will have nothing but social security to fall back on when they’re too old to work. Some may have a 401k to draw from but when that dries up their lifestyle is going to change dramatically.

If it meant more going into my pension. Sorry didn’t make that clear.

I am curious though do you know how much H&W is? Was trying to compare our compensation to local lineman union.
This is from one of the ups rising updates for the 2018 contract.
*The average UPS contribution for Part-Time Health & Welfare and Pension is $22.80 per hour. Full family
medical coverage and a defined benefit pension is unheard of in Part-Time employment.

To cover my family at my day job would cost 900 month for a plan with a 2000 deductible per person before the plan pays for anything besides wellness visits and 30 dollar office copay.

I hear that. My deductible is 2500 (family), and even then only 80 percent of bills are covered. Once I hit 5 grand (again, family), then all bills are covered.

As Ron Carey said in '97, a person cannot make a mortgage payment on a part time wage, we want more full time positions, if not, we walk. The two weeks off was a nice vacation.

Using PT labor in a Union represented company is unheard of.
You'll get your chance at full-time one day...
