[QUOTE="cardboard-surfer, post: 1797955, member: 55718"] When my entire center closed and management offered another location they said I'd lose all seniority...I said no problem, the new site wasn't inconvenient. Then they tacked on another demand, said if my former center started again (ie they cranked it up on a whim) that I'd be banned from all non-bid jobs from that center for 5 years. No transferring back. So it's either quit, or be banned from your old center. "But you can always re-apply for Peak next fall!" Yeah whatever. If UPS can shut down entire shifts, hubs and centers and jerk around PT'ers, there should be wording in the Master stating the shift at that center/hub can't be started again for a full 2 years, including Peaks, just so they know there's a price for yanking around dozens/hundreds of workers on a whim. Let them get a taste of their own medicine. I'm sure thousands of PT'ers from last year's Peak that were dumped on the street in January thought the same thing. Now the company's gonna be calling them up the day after Labor Day begging and pleading for them to come back...but management knows the day after Labor Day means new hires will only get 29 working days before Peak starts. And you can be certain management will dump them back on the street before early January so they never get that final non-Peak working day. Nice forward thinking, shutting down a hub less than two months before Peak. Not like that's gonna bite 'em or anything...oh wait they'll just crank it up again, then whine that there's no PT'ers to fill the positions...because they were all banned for 5 years. [/QUOTE]
