[QUOTE="hondo, post: 796225, member: 8661"] Nice to meet you! Welcome to the BrownCafe! The part I underlined sums it up pretty accurately. After the season, there was probably at least one work day you did not work, establishing a break point between seasonal and permanent status. Generally speaking: You will attain seniority by [B][I]working[/I][/B] a certain number of days (probably 30) starting after that break point. Your seniority date should then be the first day that you worked. Besides paying dues, there will also be an initiation fee to the union. That will probably be automatically deducted from your pay, much like taxes and FICA. The first pay raise ($1/hr) is 90 [I][B]calendar[/B][/I] days after your seniority date. Also, if you are actually loading the delivery trucks or sorting, that should qualify you for an additional $1/hr over someone unloading the trailers on your shift. Next raises would be on anniversaries (annual) of your seniority date. Benefits, sorry, probably [U]none[/U], until after 1 year. No paid holidays, sick/personal days, paid vacation, or insurance coverage. Pension vesting usually takes a much longer time, typically 5 years. Now, there may be some deviation from what I've said, the specifics are in the Local 710 contract. But I believe I'm pretty close. Hopefully one of the Local 710 UPSers on this site will correct me where I'm wrong. Also, check to see if UPS offers any tuition assistance/reimbursement where you're at. In some areas, part time employees may receive up to $3,000/year. [/QUOTE]
