[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 667855, member: 9789"] This is idiot talk you are hearing because of the current economic situation. Somebody (some idiot) has spread this around based on assumptions. I used to work in your current district (SEC). If this is about going full time this is what I suggest. Transfer to Ontario where they have a ton of combo jobs. Actually, you may be able to put in for a combo job in Ontario. However, GV is going to split off from SEC when it is absorbed into Central California District. Ontario will be part of South California District ... so you may want to move fast. Go to HR and check to see what your options are. You can also ask to find out the seniority date of the top person on the list for combo and driver. This will give you an idea of how long it is currently taking. Don't forget that person might sit on the top of the list for awhile if no jobs are open right now. If things are improving as everything indicates, jobs will start opening up. Combo jobs in Ontario have a much shorter waiting list than driver jobs anywhere in the district. Some buildings have more of a chance of hiring at certain times of the year. For example, Palm Springs will have a need for more drivers until May than it dies off rapidly because the snow birds leave and go back home. Palm Springs is in your current district. A good HR rep can find out all this for you... just seek the person out and start asking questions. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
