[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57168"] Good news for part-time employees: National contract language states "providing part-time employees the opportunity to become full-time employees is a priority of this agreement" and "will offer part-time employees the opportunity to fill at least twenty thousand permanent full-time job openings throughout its operations" Art 22, Sec 3, National Contract language. "Part-time employees shall be given the opportunity to fill full-time jobs before hiring from the outside on a six for-one basis." Art 22, Sec 4, National Contract language. Any qualifications to this will be in your regional supplemental and could mildly vary. In the Central Region supplemental, Any full-time employee with 6 months of seniority that can meet the job requirements (DOT qualifiable, etc.) has the right to bid on any full-time job that has been opened up beyond the immediate classification. Bad news for part-time employees: In reality, classifications outside of driving (clerk, porter, feeder, etc) are currently coveted by high seniority full-time employees which precludes lower seniority full-timers and all part-timers from having much chance of successfully bidding on such. Outside of the occasional 22-3 job that National language attempts to discourage full-time employees from bidding on through wage penalties the only full-time job openings that are available for part-time employees will be the basic driving position jobs. Regarding the specific question of Tractor-Trailer driving, this is a unique classification that has an extra qualification requirement in many supplementals that would preclude 22-3 full-timer employees as well as most part-time employees. For example in the Central Supplemental you have to notify management of your desire to be tractor-trailer trained. To qualify for training you must have one year of UPS safe driving for the year preceding your application to attend such training which would disqualify those previously mentioned classifications as well as clerks, porters, etc. [/QUOTE]
