[QUOTE="cfuller94, post: 1083047, member: 45631"] Hello! I've recently been hired (nov. 28th) as a part-time Package Handler in the Louisville Worldport, but have a few questions that I can't seem to find someone who knows the answer to. First off, when I applied to UPS I asked the lady who was interviewing me if any other jobs were able to earn Metro-College benefits aside from hub positions and she told me no, they were the only ones. But nearly a month after I applied and was hired, a friend of mine applied to UPS and was offered an administrative job (Load plane runner) and earns metro-college benefits as well. Therefore, after learning about this, I inquired about my ability to transfer to a position like this or how high my seniority would have to be. My manager informed me that the only two ways to get a job like that would be to earn a supervisor position and transfer, or to quit and transfer. But that didn't seem entirely right to me. Why wouldn't I be able to transfer? Is it simply because of union rules? I'm not sure I completely Understand this process. Lastly, as a UPS employee, am I required to take their health insurance, or am I able to waive it if I can verify proof of other health insurance? If anyone has any information regarding the above questions, or numbers that I could call to gather more information, I would be greatly appreciative. [/QUOTE]
