hiring delay?????

[mook8809]

I put an application in for a automotive mechanic position about 3 months ago.I had my interview and it seemed promising. I keep calling the hr to get a status on the position and my application. they keep telling me the position is open and they haven't hired anyone yet. I was wondering if the whole negotiation and contract deal puts a freeze on hiring and were they stand on the contract thanks for any info....

In our area, local 705, mechanics are covered by a completely different union so our contract has no effect on them. That being said there was a period where the retiring mechs were not replaced. It eventually caught up to the company and hiring began again.
