Our company have launced a new product, and they are going to give Full Time staff a free product each.
However, the permanent Part time staff are not going to get anything.
Does this amount to discrimination of some sort or what?
I was totally angry when heard this
My plan is to email CEO and make my feelings known

Yes, go ahead and email the CEO and give him a piece of your mind. You tell him!
Then plan on making part time work into full time leisure.

It's certainly not illegal - they don't have to give you or anyone else anything. And it doesn't even seem unfair - full time staff usually gets perks that part time doesn't, particularly in the benefits area.
Frankly, if you email the CEO complaining about this, you'll look pretty silly.

No, it's not discrimination. Most companies offer benefits only to employees working FT hours. A free product is a benefit.
You can e-mail the CEO, but, it will only reflect poorly upon you.
I don't see why you're so angry. I think you're being very immature.

Is it unfair, yes. Is is illegal, no. If you email the CEO and make your feelings known, you could be standing in the unemployment line. Alot of companies split full time shifts into two part time positions for this very reason.

If they had a free product only for men, or only for Asians, or only for Christians, it would be discrimination. What they are doing isn't fair, and doesn't show appreciation for the part time workers, but is perfectly legal.
It's actually pretty typical for companies to give perks to some employees, like a free weekly lunch for management. They only HAVE to give you your agreed-upon pay.

relies upon on the place you reside. apparently, you probably did not point out the state of the denims. they might have been black, yet the place they diminished? Too tight? Unprofessional? while you're consistently singled out for this offense, in line with probability you're able to consult with a member of administration to be certain why. you do not seem to have a sparkling information of the guidelines.

You didn't tell us the product. That might matter, oddly enough.
Also, aren't you prolly in breach of that clause in the heap of papers you signed prior to your hire? You know, the one where you promise not to commit espionage or share information about new products?

Just think, some places who employ part timers don not get the option of health care... same would go with other perks...

Why should part time workers get full time benefits?
If part time workers get all the full time workers benefits that isn't fair to them.
