[QUOTE="HockFaraday, post: 3066471, member: 67849"] It means that I work "part time" hours at a job that expects me to be available as early as 8:30 am and expects me to stay as late as they want to keep me. I understand Air district is a bit different in that regard but those expectations make it nearly impossible to keep a second job that isn't third shift. And my pay is $10.20 per hour "pt". The reality of the situation here on the ground at SDF is that "part-time" means "without the benefits of full-timers". 35-40 hours in a non-peak week is not uncommon out here. Retention rates are terrible, meaning more work gets spread over fewer workers, leading to low morale and even lower retention rates. It would make sense, then, to raise pay to encourage people to stay. And for what it's worth, raises and benefits that kick in after a year don't help me now. [/QUOTE]
