(37,443 posts)Even part timers were guaranteed X number of hours a week which was the number you needed to get benefits, so everyone got benefits.
If your current shift started less than 8 hours after your previous shift, you got paid OT (1.5 times your hourly) until you hit the 8 hour mark.
If you worked more than 8 hours a day, OT was paid to the end of your shift.
Sundays paid 1.5 times your hourly & holidays paid 2 times. Full time employees got 8 hours holiday pay, so if they also worked the holiday they made triple time. Part time employees got holiday pay, too, just not as many hours, so they could get some triple time too.
Unions started out really good but like a lot of things they got management heavy & many were corrupt. But I'm still all in for unions. Management didn't give these things to labor willingly.
