[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 927323, member: 33209"] 1) Seasonal applies to employees who began working in Nov. and Dec. 2) PT and FT seniority are completely different. If a PT employee progress into FT, his seniority date will be the date he moved into FT and his PT seniority will re-flag as "company seniority." It could be that you're already considered a regular, permanent full-time employee. If that's the case, it's common for new FTers to spend slower months (Jan.-Apr., Sep. & Oct.) on-call early in their career. Many work double-shifts inside, or air drive. Others collect unemployment. Your seniority date is NEVER retroactive, and there's no way you could go from FT -> PT and retain the former's seniority date. Something isn't making sense here. And BTW... read the numerous postings from seasonal drivers on BC from the last 10 weeks or so... they're all blowing the routes (most are kids desperate for a job). We had many 20-somethings (and even though I've been with UPS for almost 13-years, I'm still a 20-something, albeit not much longer) blow out routes during peak. As a reward, they've been offered jobs unloading 53' trailers for $8.50 an hour :). [/QUOTE]
