[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 109284, member: 1944"] Workingfor thebenies makes some great points. Going to pt mgmt does not mean you can never go to ft driving, but at least in the centers I have been in, it would be hard. At mine I BELIEVE it is a 6 inside for 1 outside hire, and there is also a mechanics union vying for that outside hire. And at my center that includes the car wash, clerks, and im not sure but I think porters. My thinking on this is that they will let go of the person they can most easily replace, which is not usually the pt sup. In this outside hire, they do not have to honor anyones seniority in anything. I also think four weeks on the job would not prepare you with the knowledge you would need to supervise people, even if you are a shining star, which you could be. If you do not qualify should you get the chance to drive from PTmgmt, I do not think you could go back to your previous position, as you could from pt hourly. That is what I was told when I did it. So at that point, you make it or you are gone, that is the point of not putting all your eggs in one basket. I learned alot about operations, I learned alot about people, and I had fun, but I didnt end up in the area of UPS that I thought I wanted, because once I saw the inside workings I did not like it. Yes you can be union, then mgmt, and then union. [/QUOTE]
