I believe that most districts are in the hiring freeze zone. As positions come "Un-occupied" it is really up to the District Mgr to weigh in on whether or not it gets filled.... So unfortunately, just becasue there's an opening, won't mean someone will fill it anytime soon. And I think there is there is a freeze on salary and merit increases for full time mgmt... it's suppose to be there part in trying to help the UPS bottom line to reduce costs....
It will be a waiting game to see if the mgmt positions become availasble any time soon....but if that's what you worked towards, then just be patient.... UPS will get out of this slump.... I wish you luck in your pursuits.
I think upper mgmt in both the union and UPS should sit and chat and figure out a way to eliminate/reduce the people that we all know should probably not be in their positions and are just basically occupying space and being paid good bucks for it too.....
