Did you do paperwork and join and pay dues?

No the paperwork im talking about is pre employment new hire stuff. Im not sure about all that yet.

 

[Bigred2351]

Good work sir, congratulations

Thanks

Tip for all new hires, lace your shoes up, pay your dues and prepare, exercise, stretch, stay hydrated. Work hard some hubs maybe only 30/60/70 days. Work days so this could be up to 12 weeks+( 3 months )

I wouldn’t call In especially if your a new hire. They seriously frown on that type of behavior. But at the same time better to not come in if your sick these days.

I am package handler.. One of the supervisor was biased since I am the only asian there, everyone took break except me not even thanks for the package I did while everyone on break

You were probably behind on Your trailer/work. Happens sometimes to me as well. Damn scanners wanna keep shutting off ruining my pph

 

[BrwnSh0rtsNShirt]

Work work work and enjoy the hours sir. Peak season coming and maybe won’t be the same as past years. We won’t know till it comes

I’m a month in at my hub and getting 25 hrs weekly with over time sometimes being 8+ hours. I’ve been told that my hub is always pretty busy so I probably won’t lose hours, just gain. And peak season they tell me I can work as many doubles as I want.

Just been quasi hired as a Combo Driver or 22.4. Passed my background check and I’m scheduled for a road test in 2 days. This hiring process seems a bit different from what I’ve been reading in the threads. Any tips for the road test?

Just been quasi hired

what does that even mean
It’s been my experience that you’re either hired or you aren’t

i interviewed on Zoom twice, took the background check, filled out new hire paperwork (all online) waited 2 weeks and Today was told to take the road test and dot physical in a few days. They said after that I attend training. I never got a copy of 5’s and 10’s like I read.

How long was your probation period ?

 

[Brown Buddy]

Just a heads up everyone. All hubs have been known to take forever on badges, being a logistics company and all this does make many wonder or worry. However stay focused work hard and maybe they will keep you beyond the season or probation.

I passed my road test! DOT physical next week I’m guessing. How long does it take to get setup for driving school after the physical?

How long have you been working for ups?

 

[Tucker88]

Anyone know how I can find my seniority date without having to contact HR?
Is it listed somewhere on UPSERS.com?

Look on the union bulletin board in your building.

Or, ask your steward.

 

[boxerdan]

Could anybody tell me if seniority accrues during peak in local 705?
