[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 3457797, member: 4992"] Valid observation. When I started, pay was 70% (?) of full rate and only a 90 day progression. At 90 days a part-timer was making the same hourly rate a a pkg car driver. With benefits. But, part-timers weren't even considered "gainfully employed". Before that.... they were only referred to as student workers. Part-time employees (then) were only intended as a supplemental workforce. Every generation has a level of distain for the current generation. Have I become my parent's ? (all I wanted was a pair of bell bottoms) What's missing the mark.... is you continually quantifying me along with every other long-term employee (who has happened to serve the members) in some sort of "anti part-timer" bouillabaisse. That's a nice thing, for a (cough) fellow Teamster to say. And how would that happen ? I'm grandfathered into the UPS/IBT plan. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
