At Averitt Exress I was just forced to opt for part time status or unemployment benefits. I had just received a raise from $16.00 per hour to $17.00 per hour. My raise was taken away and I was forced to take a $2.00 pay cut along with the loss of all benefits. Averitt had never done this before. While part time employees had been let go last year, full time employees had never been forced to become part time loosing all benefits. Not from where I’m sitting.
