[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 749437, member: 22193"] Ok, so… I have put in two Peaks with UPS and was given a verbal contract at the end of the second Peak to the effect of that if there was ever any opening at any UPS center I would be #1 on their rehire list and was also given a description of the job (load/unload) and asked if I was able to handle it, I said yes. So when something did finally open up (first opening in two years) I went in for an interview and it went very well - or so I thought. However, the hiring manager either messed up or deliberately falsified my interview information, saying that I had told him I was a student and that I only wanted FT – neither of which are true statements and he had also told somebody else that he “didn’t want to take the risk” but that he would “keep [me] on file just in case”, all because he screwed up (and it is absolutely illegal for any employer to discriminate a potential employee if they are in school or not - WHICH I AM NOT). He then told me, in a bold-faced lie, that there actually wasn’t any openings at all (which there obviously was, based on the "current openings" on the application and by what he had said to this other guy) and that I can keep trying, and also how he disrespected this other guy telling me what he had said. So what should I or could I do? A verbal contract is still a contract, legally. And they also state that all Peak hires get precedence over others who have never worked for them a day in their lives (also a verbally binding contract) and I know I was one of very few who had more than 1 Peak under their belts, meaning I have more company seniority (basically). Can I try to get the Union to do something about this (as they did pocket my $19 monthly for those two Peaks), or should I just bend over and take it and try to get back in Seasonally again this Peak and see if this guy hires me again? And if he doesn’t, should I then consider legal action on the basis of discrimination? Are there any other options at all? Any way I could take this higher than this manager, who obviously has a personal, and completely unfounded and unprovoked vendetta against me? Thanks… [/QUOTE]
