[QUOTE="upsdad, post: 483486, member: 18865"] Kind of new here but let me ask this question, I am a preloader and have recently been laid off(2 yrs with UPS). I have been called in a couple of days each week except for this week. I am told that when volume picks back up I will be back in the regular mode and they are saying March/April. I was told by shop steward all I have to do is work one day per month to keep benefits, can I use my personal days for this if we hit March and I do not work any. Also I would like to make a career out of UPS and had planned on that since I got hired but I understand from my Dad this economy is worst he has seen and he said it will get better but right now nobody knows when and the reports he is told by some of his clients is anywhere from mid spring to 18 months away. I am "safe" to assume that I will be back at UPS sooner or later or if you are laid off for an extended period is that a sign that you need to start looking else where. I am fortunate right now in that I have another pt job that I can work extra hours and I am also able to work for my Dad some as well and keep the bills paid. [/QUOTE]
