[QUOTE="Nitelite, post: 388127, member: 11932"] In regards to the guy above me. Why go back? Why leave in the first place. I'll explain how things work at the HUB I work in. Our HUB has 125s (Full-Timers that work inside and make top driving rate even though they don't drive, they just load, sort, unload, do bulk, small sort etc for 8 hours), Combo guys, and ofcourse P/Ters. When a 125 job becomes vacant, a bid list goes up and the senior Combo worker gets it. Then that combo job gets posted and the most senior part time bidder gets that job. Now, every year (now its two years), all jobs are rebid. They take all the full timers (125s, Drivers, and Combo) and go down the list in seniority order and have each person rebid. Occasionally drivers come into the building and take a 125 job to get off the road since they don't take a pay cut, sometimes the opposite happens. 125 hours are from 12-1pm until 10-11pm. There is no problem with drivers or 125s bidding a combo job. If another 125 or driver slot opens, and they want to get back into it, since they are usually high on the Ft seniority list, they have no problems.
