[QUOTE="Ninja Cat, post: 4696676, member: 85803"] Okay, I have a fun new 'seasonal loader' question. I did my "interview", if a game on your phone can even be called that, in September, my start date was October 5th. When I spoke to the 'recruiter' woman, she was dumb as all get out "You don't pay union dues after the initiation fee" kind of dumb. HOWEVER, I was told I was taking a PERMANENT part time position. My UPSer account says I'm Permanent. Why does management insist I'm seasonal? What do I do at the end of peak, when they force me to leave? Will I get hired on at the end of it, permanently? Will I have to leave and reapply? I'm super confused by the differing answers to this stupid question. I've been here almost 2 months. The pay isn't GREAT, but I do love it (I've worked retail up until this, and this is by FAR better). I want a permanent job. Someone told me because I only make the 14.50 an hour, I'll be kept, and anyone making the 24.50 an hour will be 'let go' but that someone was NOT management, and management is super vague on most answers. The Hub manager said we'd likely get to stay if we want to, the training supe says we have to reapply, and says UPSers and the recruiter know nothing of how this works. I mean, because I'm nights and there's no HR there, nobody looked at my ID or SS card to verify I am who I say I am, which I am, but still. seeeeeddyyyy [/QUOTE]
