Ahhhhh, yes he does. He actually has all except that they can drop the hammer on his head without a reason as long as it doesnt voilate the law.
Wrong! If you do not work 40 days in your first 70...you will make book on your 41st work day in a subsquent 70 day consecutive period. Read the contract, troll.Ooops, I meant 40 in 70 calender days. You make seniority on your 71th calender day REGARDLESS in loc 804. (if you knew, or the union/shop steward noticed).
Update:
Had to call this in before going this morning and was told I didn't need to come in. Asked pt sup if my job was in trouble and he told me that I would have to talk to the head supervisor Monday when he returns. This really sucks. I'll keep calling in though because I actually like the job and need it. Also didn't know about the 70/90 day thing. Is unjustified firing prior to making 30 days a prominent thing at UPS? I've been respectful and friendly with all my supervisors and have tried to stay under the radar as best as possible.

Yes...making book = making seniority.Explanation of "making book" for the uneducated please! Would this be equal to making seniority?

Long time lurker here and finally registered. Started at UPS about three weeks ago. Its been going pretty well so far. Im currently a preloader in a center. I've had a few misloads over the past weeks and have zeroed out 3 times. Last Friday I had five Package cars and ten misloads. Monday we were slow and I had three trucks with no misloads. Monday another trainee also started working a few trucks up from me loading with a pt supervisor. Tuesday I got to work five minutes late and I hadn't received any Packages yet but the trainee and pt sup were working on my trucks. I was told to go home for the day. Wednesday I came back to work and was told to go back home again and the pt sup gave me his number to call him on thursday prior to coming in. Thinking this may be the beginning of the end . Basically just want to know if I'm screwed. Should I start looking for another job? I've had a hard times somedays but nearly everyday I get done I help other loaders finish up. Know that might not mean much but I don't slack when I startup. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Local 804 supplement reads as follows........"After 40 days of work within a 70 consecutive workday period, a new employee will acquire seniority and the employee shall be given a seniority date as of his/her first day of employment (orientation) worked within such 70 workday period. If, however, the employee does not complete the 40 days within these 70 days, his/her seniority date will be the 41st day worked within any subsquent 70 workday period." I assume reading isn't your strong suit...lol.Lol, you're wrong. You need to go read the contract over again.
