[QUOTE="Helix, post: 1721686, member: 59199"] Well... That's about what I figured. Doesn't sound too great, doesn't sound too bad. Those answers spawn even more questions... Is the part time pay scale completely different and separate from a full time pay scale? Like if I start at 10.50 will it have a different top than full timers doing the same job? Or is it like kroger where the union members may have different contracts? (Old grandfathered pay rates vs new employee scale?) Is it set up like other major corporations where you can bid on open jobs out of state or area if they don't get filled by more senior associates? Or are the unions all localized and seniority matters mostly in your area? Does tenure begin as soon as you are hired... Even if part time? Or does amount of time as a full time employee always trump part time employee even if the part time employee was hired 1st? And I hope this comment doesn't earn me any enemies but my past experience with unions has been lackluster at best..... Are you forced to join? Are there dues? Is ups like every other union job I've seen where tenure may trump ability or experience? I've read enough threads to see people are proud of time served. Almost military-ish which doesn't really surprise me because I have heard over and over again that if you can survive the grind it's one of the best companies to work for. And one last thing... It was already answered up top that part timers have regular shifts and schedules... Are the part time positions bid on among part timers? And I'm assuming the hours may vary at times even if the shift start time is the same? Thanks ya'll for the responses so far... I just always like to know everything I can about a decision before I make it. [/QUOTE]
