Looking for red circled p/t +39 yrs ?

[Babagounj]

I have been asked to submit this question by our most senior part timer.
He was wondering if there are any other red circled part timers out there with 39 yrs or more ?
Who are you ? And where are you ?

 

[sano]

And why are you still working after 39 years?

 

[helenofcalifornia]

We had one retire out here with about thirty years. 39 years of PT work!! Damn! What kind of work does he or she do besides any job they want. How many weeks of vacation a year? Do they work a second job?

Max vacation is 6 weeks, 7 if you use some personal and sick days.

"Next door" to you, here in Lynnfield (Ma.), we have two Red Circled part-timers left. Both have almost 37 years and both are Stewards. Nick P. is on the Local Sort; Rick S. is on the Preload. Both are guaranteed eight hours a day.

Wow, I knew he had many years in but not that many.

What is funny Mufstafo is that here the high value clerks are non-union. That is something I do not understand.

Those other 30+ p/t also have day jobs;
Boston Fire Dept ..desk job
Boston Court Officer
USPS mailcarrier

How can you be pt and guaranteed 8 hrs a day that would make you full time.

 

[JonFrum]

How can you be pt and guaranteed 8 hrs a day that would make you full time.

Originally part-timers were guaranteed four hours, and if they worked one minute past four hours, they were guaranteed eight hours. Often the shift would not wrap up under four hours, or there would be a supervisor working, so the Red Circled part-timers would get paid for the full eight hours, even if they only worked, say, four and a half hours.

Red Circle part-timers make the same hourly rate as the drivers, but they worked off the part-time seniority list.

Eventually UPS just guaranteed them eight hours, since their guarantee formula triggered the eight hours almost every day anyway.

We've got a guy in our building (ft) but inside work that has been there since 1969.

 

[evilleace]

we have one ft guy who was pt for years but is combo now he has been there for like 35 yrs.

I have always had a red circle on my back and all this time I thought it was a target. Life is good

Ask his wife / ex wife. My divorce almost guarantees that I won't be able to retire. She gets half my pension, most of my 401K and $175 / week support. She'll be eating caviar and I'll be eating tuna fish.

Exactly only the HV clerk & the fireman are true red circles.
The other two aren't.
