[QUOTE="working up a sweat, post: 880661, member: 37075"] I worked for UPS PT from 1997 to 2001. I had to quit on good terms because I lost FT job in 2001. Got new FT job in 2001 immediately , working 7 PM to 7 AM and had to quit. Got my Teamsters exit card (recommend to everybody to do that) . Fast forward to 2009 and lost my FT job. I applied to UPS in September of 2009 for peak. Got job because I aced interview. Used keywords like understanding UPS work ethic and dropping names of soups that I worked for(most never left). HR never said that this was a temp job and would be let go after peak. Walked into building on 1st night and the FT night head soup 1st words were, "all you will be gone after peak". I knew this was Bravo Sierra because I knew the score. This is a try out period and they will keep the people who show up every night on time , work hard and not make mistakes. They ended up retaining 5 of 37 newbies( I made the cut). Some newbies quit because after paying the Teamster initiation fee they were taking home less than 20 dollars a week. I paid that in 1997(keep your Teamster exit cards). Got full health benefits 6 months after re-hire time. Bennies are worth about 30 an hour if you only work 50 hours a month. You earn 4 hours toward pension even if you work 2 hours after punching in, due to the contract. [/QUOTE]
