[QUOTE="Brownee, post: 4279533, member: 68704"] I went through the same sham 3 yrs ago. They even started me at the higher reg-temp rate for a couple pay checks before mgmt "realized" it was an error and change me to the full-time rate. The key word is "seasonal". HR is really just a recruiting department, eager to meet quotas and willing to spew misleading info to get you to sign up. It is true that you have to get your 30 in before Nov 1 to gain seniority before peak. Mgmt purposely made sure not to work you 30 before 11/1. Because you are "seasonal" you probably signed "electronically" an acknowledgement during your hiring which means the seniority clock will not start until the first day you work in January. Essentially, it is a 5 month audition for the job. Word of advice if you wish to become full-time. Keep your head down, don't make "waves" and don't have an accident. Work hard during peak and then in January and February to get your 30. Then get in the union, get your healthcare enrollment from the union, and start taking a full lunch. BTW, there should be a driver functioning as the union shop steward in your center. Really no need to bother him until you get your 30 in 2020. In my center, there was about 25 seasonal drivers hired my 1st peak. They kept 3 of us as full-time drivers. This was before the new 22.4 combo driver position and the Sunday service starting in 2020. Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
