[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 91710, member: 1912"] Driver, Who was the interview you just had with? Was it a feeder manager or sup or was it or was it an HR person? The reason I ask is because you generally don't overhear a lot of dialogue about people quitting in a UPS feeder department. If it was the HR office then it might explain somethings. HR people overall rarely hire feeder drivers off the road therefore they tend to be a little "confused" when they actually do so. I agree with Trick you need to talk to the teamsters local that represents that building. I'm guessing at this point but it sounds like the building you are going to might have some type of summer casual language. If so then they may be looking to work some summer casuals and then pick the best two for the permanent positions in september. Just a guess. Your right in that it would not be good for you to give up your permanent position for a casual maybe in september job. The other thing you have to consider is that even if you get hired you would have to go through a 30 day qualifying period before you are truly permanent. It might be worth your while to spend some time in the parking lot asking other feeder drivers what they know about the openings. If it still looks good then it may be worth your while to see if one of those drivers would give you the feeder managers name and phone number. Then call the guy, let him know you are applying for one of the two permanent positions and see if he will meet with you. That would quickly give you an idea of what their intentions are. If there is an opportunity for you then the phone call would give the feeder manager a positive first impression about you. Just my opinion without knowing more about the contract language for the area you are applying for. [/QUOTE]
