[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1077283, member: 12570"] Moot, although I have found that your best posts are those that no one can hear. No one has yet to answer my question----suppose the company does create and fill more FT positions---does this mean that they hire more seasonal PT workers to fill their vacancies and let them go when the "FTers" go back to the hub? Would these new FT positions be seasonal in nature and the days worked not count toward FT seniority or would these new FTers be able to work toward gaining their seniority and be able to displace 2 PTers in order to get their 8 hours when they are laid off? If so, wouldn't that sort of defeat the purpose of creating more FT jobs? Would the free period be extended to include this post Peak Peak? I still contend that extending the period in which helpers can be used and allowing PTers to work beyond their guarantee is the best way to deal with this post Peak Peak. Creating and filling FT jobs for such a relatively short period of time would be a logistical nightmare. [/QUOTE]
