[QUOTE="PackageGhoul, post: 4716177, member: 86940"] Teamsters Local 52 here. I had an interesting discussion with a few UPSers regarding bidding on available positions and requesting to take on a second shift position in order to become a "full-time" worker. After speaking with a few supervisors and receiving conflicting information I have decided to come here regarding the topic. First thing I was told: [SIZE=4]"You cannot bid on a position available on a shift other than your own."[/SIZE] Second thing I was told: [SIZE=4]"You can only bid on positions if you have enough seniority."[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After checking the UPS Handbook regarding the polices and the Teamsters overall policy book -- I could not find anything regarding the first statement.[/SIZE] The second statement is mentioned in the [B]NATIONAL MASTER UNITED PARCEL SERVICE AGREEMENT [/B]provided by Teamsters official website in [SIZE=4]Article 22, Section 4 (a).[/SIZE] [I][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Part-time employees with six (6) months or more seniority shall have the right to place their name on the list of employees waiting to be moved to a preferred job within their building. Such preferred jobs shall include, but not be limited to: Preload, Sorter, Clerical, Irregular Train, Designated Responder, Car Washer, Loader and Unloader. Employees do not have the right to select any specific unit, load or workstation unless a prior past practice has been established.[/COLOR][/I] The supervisors I spoke to about this told me that since I have been with UPS for 2 years, then I have every right to bid on a position. However, there is no guarantee that I will obtain that position due to those with more seniority than I have also bidding on the position. [/QUOTE]
