[QUOTE="BrownMonk, post: 3029970, member: 66576"] Two contracts ago, the FT drivers took less so that the PT could get more. The realization hit halfway through that contract that most of the people that it affected were not even there any more. Many had continued the cycle of hire and quit before getting through progression. Most of the long time PT employees continued to moan about everything and when asked about how they got more, they moaned about that too. I'm not saying the PT employees don't need more, but only through the progression. The long time PT only make a couple dollars less than drivers do in some cases. The Company perpetuates the problem by hiring only college age kids("preferred"). They don't need the job or benefits and most likely to quit on the spot. The middle age guy with kids stays much longer because he needs the benefits that his other job doesn't give him or too expensive to afford. They also seem to have a better attendance record. The Company hires a bunch of PT sups so that they can say they were needed to replace no call/no show employees and do our work. Huge problem that the Company is creating on purpose IMHO. [/QUOTE]
