[QUOTE="lostintransit, post: 85127, member: 1137"] My husband was hired last year for seasonal (covering drivers on vacation). He didn't switch routes, I guess the regular drivers were shuffled during this period. He had a 1 week driving school, in which he had to pay his own hotel, meals, etc. When he actually started I believe he went out with a supervisor for 3 days to learn the route. He worked from May to the end of August - it wasn't very steady the first month, then it was full weeks till the end of Aug. He was laid off, then called back for peak in November, after which he was laid off at the end of December. He did get a different route for peak though. He was called back to the center a couple of weeks ago to fill out paperwork and take a safety test. There were no benefits, he did not make full pay - I think it was something like $16.00 an hour. He has uniforms (in summer you must buy your own socks if you're going to wear shorts). He did have to pay union dues, but when you get laid off you can submit 50 cents, your name and SSN#, date laid off, to your local and then the union will 'suspend" your membership till you are working again. We did not know this the first time and when he went back in Nov. they took out all his back dues out of the first paycheck. [/QUOTE]
