[QUOTE="R. Mutt, post: 4353143, member: 74425"] Language in the most recent UPS national master agreement eliminated the classification of any PT position as skilled, yes. My guess is that this change was partially informed by management's desire to expand their right in instructing hourlies to "work as directed," but I can't say for sure. Again, I'm working from only my experience and National Master contract language, but it's likely that how you are allowed to bump other hourlies and from what position is determined by past practice, negotiations between your local and management (if they have taken place or will,) and politics. I've been bumped from a preferred position before by an hourly who in a different area sorting smalls but was displaced by automation--but this was at a previous hub. In my current case it was determined in negotiations that all hub employees were allowed the right to exercise their seniority to displace the least senior employee in their respective work area in the building in a remaining and adjacent sort, as long as you aren't trying to bump an hourly who has threatened to extort said sort's appointed head steward and business agent. Unfortunately, in my case, I did not meet one of the negotiated qualifications and was compelled to withdraw my grievance on the matter, but you should contact your shop steward or business agent and ask for more information regarding your options.
