Trimet does not offer a 'living wage' for the first year. And you must start part time which is not a living wage for someone with a family.
Additionally, the 'full benefits' is another lie. No defined pension, health care on the same level as Burgerville (actually Burger-ville is even cheaper if those stinking execs get their way) and no more medical when you retire. (thanks Chad)
They do offer a living wage, they are hiding that you don't get forty hours of that wage.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the defense of "Living Wage"- Getting 30 hours a week at TriMet nets you $77 more per week than working minimum wage for 40 hours per week. After 6 months its $157 more per week.
I am actually surprised your not chasing the "Full Benefits" portion, which is what they are going after.
ReplyDeleteYou don't pay minimum wage to workers who are responsible daily for the lives of hundreds of people
