[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1270593, member: 23726"] Thanks for the answer jordanovich. But, my steward said that PT employees that had not obtained seniority before august first will not be paid a retro. And, we had some people quit during and after peak, those people don't get retros either. Another question. They sent me a link to go in and apply for driver. This is common right? They are not firing me as PT and Hiring me as FT, right? I have pissed off management with a couple grievances, and they are pretty shady to begin with. I almost think they gave me the call so they could research my past and find some dirt on me. (side story) So basically if they did try to pull paper work BS like this, I could be surrendering my years of service as a PT and my years of pension. How can I make sure all my bases are covered? Side story, I have been having problems with management. I swear I heard my fulltime sup's sup say, everywhere he (me) goes there are our people. Then one day we had a spill and it wasn't cleaned up correctly. I reported it to OSHA. The OSHA liaison gave me her personal # saying call me first I'll take care of it. We all know they just don't want people outside of UPS involved, because that is not their people. I don't think anything ever really happened other than a bunch of audits. The spill did get cleaned up after days. I did meet with the OSHA person and the steward and we had an open conversation. They said I could also voice concerns at the safety committee meeting, and anyone can attend and get paid for it. I went to the meeting and they didn't pay me for it. Then they changed it to, you only get paid if you have a concern, but you should probably just tell your area safety person instead of going. I will probably just remind them to put in my time, and then file on it if they don't. I did talk about my concerns and how the spill was not cleaned up correctly and then tracked through the building, to containers, and to other hubs. I just hope all goes well with going full time so I can get away from that group of people. But its like he said, everywhere I go, its their people, who value their own paycheck a hell of a lot more than mine or any wrong doing by management of the company. [/QUOTE]
