[QUOTE="BrownRecycler, post: 3669908, member: 73454"] That's a matter of an opinion not fact. IBT should write more, but then, the full time will complain about part timer getting more than their hour worth. But, instead of worrying about getting more, we should focus more about the financial benefit of being a senior part timer and how seniority matters. With the 1,000 hours or however the new contract going to be, it still in my opinion would be difficult to have a good pension while as part timer. Yes, it shows that they aren't use to the union environment or not entirely fond about paying the dues. If they learn the way of the union and how dues are meant as premium for protection and engaging in contract would means more money, they would participate more. They need to be educated on what is going to brings them more money and tell them to take action on that. $1 a year for me. But, after the contract, it seem that the wage progression will cut my old wage progression rate. Yes, the cost of living is a JOKE. And, the government is doing that on purpose to cut cost of paying out Social Security benefits. If they were more honest about the cost of living, they would be paying out more money. The tax reformed law would have been useful if it meant for lower income bracket not for including the rich. If we don't collect more revenue, it won't make it easier to pay the Social Security benefits and debt deficit. 6 hours a week? [/QUOTE]
