[QUOTE="pootnan242, post: 3626828, member: 73476"] How is this contract looking out for part timers. I posted another response on another thread. The full timers are only looking out for themselves. I have a family, 2 kids and my 7 year old has baseball games and Tae Kwon Do tournaments on the weekend. That is my only time to be with them as I work upwards of 55-60 hours a week as a lowly cover driver. The current contract as well as the new contract language says absolutely nothing to help our “part time” status. It benefits full time drivers and pretty much slaps the part time utility/cover drivers in the face in regards to home time with family, weekends, etc. sure we’ll have either Sun/Mon off however more than likely it will be Mon/Tue when I’ll have absolutely no quality family time with my family. Also to me the contract states that all full time drivers will basically be 9-5 and have to opt out of that meaning all part timers will have to pick up the extra work off our so called union brothers and sisters delivering right next to our area. Again I say if we are so called brothers and sisters then all of the drivers part time and full time need to be treated equally. I can foresee this is the beginning of an already us (part timers) against them (full timers) mentality as if that wasn’t already a thing. We already have no entitlements to 9-5 days, no way to bid on routes, and our measly pension is not getting any better with this current contract. Again, as a part timer you’d be a fool to vote yes on this. I for one am still sticking by my vote of no. [/QUOTE]
