[QUOTE="Mrs. UPS, post: 334521, member: 15248"] Thanks for your reply BrownShark. This is exactly what I need...some inside insight. There was never any kind of agreement between my husband and a manager. He was hired on and told he was a tcd driver and would one day become fulltime, completely depending on seniority. We've known this all along. It wasn't promised to him, just explained as the way things were. Here's our timeline: He hired on, went straight to driving school, came back and worked in the warehouse for 3 weeks while they found a route to train him on, drove with a sup for a certain amount of time, then did that same route the entire time he was in his packet, then after that he would just do whatever route was open that day. He goes into work every morning and if his name is on dispatch he works, if it's not he asks around and sometimes guys will take an option day and he'll do his route. And then sometimes he'll run split cars or other things. If he can't find any routes to do then they send him home. It's been this way for 2 years. What we want to know is what they just saw this week that made them say 1. that he was full time and then 2. that he wasn't full time. What section in the agreement were they looking at? We just don't understand. I do understand what you're saying about if he's illegal they would terminate him to cover their butts. But how do we know if he was hired illegally? Also about the pay..he has been paid top driver pay the whole time. Or at least I assume he has. He started at around $22/hr and after the regular raises he's up to around $23/hr now. So I don't think he was ever cheated out of money. He just called the HR department to see what exactly he was classified as. The guy told him that he was hired off the street as a tcd. Which is a part time position. BUT he was going to have his boss call my husband back with more details. See, it's like we're just getting the runaround. We just need some answers. If he has to go back and work in preload indefinitely that's fine. It's going to suck financially, but he'll stay with it be/c he loves his job. We just want to know why. Why is all this happening now and what caused the changes? [/QUOTE]
