According to the information that we reviewed at our local on Saturday, the 4 - hour man would come from the laid off list of regular employees. They would also have their pension (when it resumes) and H & W benefits paid, but on an hourly basis. This is what most Teamster construction jobs have in place now. What that means is that the benefits paid in would be calculated on an hourly basis that would be figured at the end of each weeks work for the amount of hours worked.
Also, it states that if the 4 - hour man works over the 6th hour then that man would be guaranteed 8 hours.
That will serve them right,smashed up freight and misloads.
It's not a part-timer, Some of the laid-off men here in Charlotte have 15 or more years in........ The company just wants to make full-time laid-off employees part-time.......... NODo you think that it is fair for a part time man to take overtime away from a 30 year man or is it fair that a man with14 years vacation will get his 4 th week and a 15 yr man will lose his 4 th week, there is to much gray area and not enough answers.
1) If this passes, there will not be a 4 hour person working past 6 hours. That would be defeating the purpose of this change. Wishful thinking though.
2) If the 4 hour person only works 20 hours per week, they would have minimal pension or bennies. If it's based on how many hours you work, you will be shorted one way or another. Plus, working part of the week will eliminate your unemployment check. And have fun waiting by the phone to work only on Fridays and Mondays.
If you don't think that the company would take full advantage of this situation, why did they put it in there?
That will serve them right,smashed up freight and misloads.
joes not management but you'd think so. joe, its easy to talk like this because you're getting yours and you want a yes vote thinking if they start paying into the pension that you'll continue to get "yours". Am I right? They'll never get 6 hours because while... you have lobster and wine?
I paid in 33 yrs. I'm good..living the dream..having lobster and wine on the 32nd floor of the casino in the VIP lounge. The 4 hr man could get 12 hours if the work was there..if not he goes home with what he can eek out"the amount you receive cannot be altered by anyone"
