Because they threw the 18 year olds in there. The employee with years of seniority didn't want to do small sort, and I replaced him.

How many seasonal employees are either given, have access to or would even know where to begin to look online for our contract?

The point is you'll in congrats because many seasonal applicants didn't even get a callyou. You don't know me. I've done almost every single part time job available in that building, and I've done it well and with ease. Don't tell me what I'm entitled to or not. I'm not actually complaining about my job, I'm complaining about a dishonest tactic used by an apparently desperate HR team. I wouldn't be complaining if I had the pay rate and benefits half the people on this forum don't seem to appreciate.
back. Everyone's job is important, so just focus on that. Know that like every job especially at UPS you have to make it work for you I do. I have a full time career outside of UPS and with said career I am compensated very well with full benefits etc. But I work at UPS part time because it's only 3.5 hours a day and I am in a position where I can save my week checks minus the 25% percent I put in the deferred comp. So make UPS work for you not the other way around.

The only "seasonal" employees at my hub are driver helpers.

Agreed completely, you have to know where you are working. During ones homework prior to accepting a job/position is paramount.

Thanks. I do want to be here, for one reason or another. If I were given any opportunity I wouldn't hesitate to accept. For now, its having a part time job until I become a lineman.

I don't know you have to know about the contract to asked questions such as what is the probation period/process. If this is someone's first job I can understand not knowing how to vet a job.
Ignorance is not an excuse once you become an adult. You learn how to ask questions or you get left behind...

Withholding information is the equivalent of lying. When I asked the question whether or not I was permanent, the answer should have entailed the honest truth? I don't know...It's not difficult to answer. Even "maybe" would have sufficed...According to many people on here, I'm not missing much..Not really even sure why I care so much..Maybe its the fact that I was lied to? I'll be making double what drivers make when I become a lineman. Oh well, guess I'll just work my temporary ass of until the bitter end.

Yup...me too. Where's my job??? They lied to me. OP should pool his money with that helper who got left behind by his driver in that other thread and hire a lawyer.

I was layed off because of this last year, and I was not seasonal. The reasoning is the "last hired, first fired" bit about seniority with the union. At least that's how I understand it.
It really sucks, though. They gave me the work around and didn't tell me how to find the union steward (employees didn't help either) even though I paid my dues. I'm back now, but I wish they would make it clear.

Did You make book before the layoff?

Oh yeah, that's what happened to me. I needed 30 working days BEFORE December, at least that's what management told me. I had 27.
Made decent money and now I'm back making money, so I guess it worked out in the end, but still it felt really dishonest.

Last year in my building UPS only hired permanent PT in the months before Peak. We have many PT with a Nov and Dec seniority date.
