[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5015814, member: 49065"] When I hired in the state minimum wage was set at $2.30 a hour, as a collective bargaining part time employee I started at $5.50. Brought up today’s standard using that formula the part time new hires should be starting at $21. If you have part timers continuing to work over 30 hours a week they should be classified as full time with all the benefits associated with that promotion. The Company is more than willing to keep them in a permanent part time classification in order to prevent paying more into their pension and health and welfare plans. Just study how the part timer’s pension under the Central Supplement is formulated. It stops after 35 years, no more increases no matter how further they work. On average the Company has to pay into the Health and Welfare coverages $ 100 dollars a week more to cover a full timer. Another issue for high seniority part timers is the transfer to a full time position under the Central. You basically start all over again in a separate pension trust, we still have an issue with high seniority part timers not going full time just because they would lose out in their pension benefits if they decide to before age 65. This problem has been going on since the 2008 Contract and I do not see any urgency from the International to fix it. Most of their lack to improve on the pension language has to do with weak negotiating and leadership playing politics, pitting regions against each other. This election is a prime example.. the two top candidates on the Vairma ticket are heavily invested in the Western pension plans that are paying on average twice as much than the Central and Southern for the same amount of service years.
