[QUOTE="LKLND3380, post: 1439619, member: 6601"] Seasonal Driver is like a TE or a CCA except Seasonal Driver is TEMPORARY and wont work past December 31... I forget the exact date but I think it's anyone hired between October 1 and December 31 is seasonal with no guarantee of permanent work. UPS has in the contract with the Union they can hire 1 person off the street for a permanent driver position for every in house seniority driver.... I would have to get out the contract and read it but maybe someone here will post the EXACT wording. So... It's not impossible to be hired off the street as seasonal driver and asked to stay on permanent but it is rare. A Seasonal Driver can lead to a permanent Part Time Preload position that can last five to ten years depending on how long it takes to move up seniority... You can bid on OTHER positions at UPS as you work your way up UNLIKE the post office where you can't cross trades - CCA to RCA to Clerk. I think the Teamsters are a better union than NALC and better representation but that really varies on location. If you work seasonal (hired in October) and then hired permanent, your 90 day probation starts Friday January 2. It's 90 clock in days (if I remember correctly), so come April your 90 days isn't up - more like May... Supervisors at UPS... I worked at one building and thought, what a bunch of clueless friend@cKs... I worked at another building and thought - no way, these people are even more clueless. UPS will be up front when they screw you but the post office will be sneaky when they screw you. [/QUOTE]
