[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1083986, member: 43436"] If true, this would be a regional provision. If you're in the union, contact your local union directly and ask to speak with the liaison that represents UPS employees (called your "business agent"). He/she will be able to give you a definite answer. If you're not in the union, sorry, you don't have any recourse. As far as being an off-the-street hire... 1) You need to determine the positioning of the last off-the-street hire. The last driver added to your building could've been an off-the-street hire, meaning 6 inside employees will get hired before another (note that the union is proposing changing this to 8 in the upcoming contract). 2) Until you've been offered the job, NEVER assume that you're "next." Typically, the "next" person winds up being a PT supervisor or the flavor of the day (e.g. some 21-year-old kid who runs his butt off). This is UPS, and there's no loyalty here. As far as the Company's concerned, seasonal positions are difficult (in many places) to fill, you're accepting the work and you're getting paid. [/QUOTE]
