[QUOTE="UPSGUY72, post: 856051, member: 14514"] You will by a seasonal driver untill the second week in Sept when they lay you off. If they call you back It will only be until just before xmass then you will get laid off again. If and that is a big if they hire you on as a permanent PT package handler after the first of the year that will be you job untill you gain enough seniority to win a driving bid it could take a year or 10 depending on the area your in and the number of people retiring of leaving. Most likely they will lay you off right before xmass and not call you back untill next June. I know the HR person told you different but the people that they hire as PT package handlers after the first of the year are going to be the people that worked that job during peak as they don't have to train them and they know how good of a worker they are. You said there are a couple of centers around your area. You need to find out how many people are on the seniority lists (PT and FT) and if the list is made up of more than one building. I'm from western Ma and my local seniority list covers 3 building two small (20 and 26 routes and one large 120 + routes. There are 180+ FT people on the FT list and about 90+ on the PT list. They have hired 1 driver in the last three year in my area. In Mass you unemployment is based on you last 4 quarters of work add the two highest quarters together and than dividing that number by 52 to give you your base pay. You can make up to 1/3 of your base pay without effecting you unemployment. The number of cars in the yard doesn't mean that they need to hired more drivers. Each center has extras and some days there are more or less depending on how many routes they are running that day. [/QUOTE]
