[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 2548120, member: 66082"] I don't work for UPS, and I have never experienced what you are going through, but my younger sister had a similar experience with Ford as an autoworker. Ford hired her and would lay her off before she could join the union and then rehire her. This happened at least 4 times that I can recall. I told her to friend Ford and thought they were treating her unfairly, but she liked the job a lot and she understood what she was signing up for even though she never liked being let go. Anyway, she perservered and when Ford along with Chrysler and GM did their big hiring push after President Obama helped saved the auto industry, she was hired permanently. And because she hung in there, she had seniority and was bumped up from tier II pay which topped out at like $19 I think, to tier I pay which tops out at $30. I say this to say it worked out in the end for her, but it did suck in the beginning. So you gotta understand the nature of the job but there is nothing wrong with venting imo. [/QUOTE]
