[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1092279, member: 45097"] How about not the same but reasonable. I am a 30yr part time employee. I've had hernia surgery twice, have herniated disks in my back, and am still a loyal employee. I am at work every day, and am trusted. At some point shouldn't I reach top scale? I still make three dollars an hour less then someone hired under the old contract back in 82. Have I not taken my lumps? Worked my ass off? Part time is a constant job with no break to drive to the next stop either. It's stand there and sort, sort, sort, sort...or load, load, load, load. You get ten minutes and do it again. Yeah they are two different jobs, but there still should be some sort of reward for sticking it out for the long haul. Also pension wise we are not even close. From 30 to 35 the pension hike is a little over $300 more a month. Is that because we are slower in our old age? Do drivers not slow down as they age? So why are we being penalized for aging? We also don't get any in between years unless we wait until 65 to collect. Yes this is true. If you have to leave at say 28 years you will only collect the 25 and out pension. You lose those three years unless you wait until 65 to collect. SSSSSSS00000000000000000 not fair. Drivers get every year regardless, and even go past 35 years. Ours caps out at 35. [/QUOTE]
