A specialist is an inside job, non-union. It could be one of hundreds of different positions. Were they not more specific?

I'm pretty sure that it's a supervisors position. I've heard of it before and the guy who filled the job at my hub was a p/t sup just prior to that.

Here, one of the bone-head p/t sups got to be made "Full-time Dispatch Specialist". What's it mean? Now he's a full-time bone-head.

A Specialist is classified as a full time management position, that still is paid by the hour, eight hours a day, they sign in and out on PTRS, the same way a PT Sup does.

I believe they get no bonus or stock options like the salary sups.

full time management . Non MIP . Salaried but compensated for overtime through the PTRS system. Generally the positions they occupy should be once in which they do not directly supervise hourly people. Could be TSG, Feeder Dispatch, BD, IE or possibly an OMS in some centers.

The only thing they get is the half months pay in December, no stock or anything else.
