Were the words too big for you to understand?
Not at all, Dave. I just wondered when you were invited to join the negotiating team.
The cons are the position(s) could be filled.
The 6-1 is going to be changed to 8-1.
Financials have yet to be discussed---I still think we will see a two-tiered wage, if not in 2013 then in 2020.
They wouldn't fire you for not crossing---they would just not use you.
If I were there this **** would be done already.
You are fooling yourself if you think you would be seasonal for a year or 2. You need to do a search for "seasonal driver" or cover driver. Some have been doing it for 10 years.
I am in New England and was hired as a seasonal in Nov 2010. I was recently hired 3/8/13 full time as an off the street hire. I did the seasonal thing for 3 years (5 seasons). I will be 40 next week and I don't believe I am too old. This job will keep you in shape without a doubt and I actually enjoy the physical part because I was/am a big gym and workout guy as it is. When I was first hired as a seasonal the HR woman told me straight out there is NO chance of me getting hired after the season and there are no promises for anything in the future. I took the job anyway and from day one I busted my rear and always called when I was finished to help out. I worked through my lunches and I ran my ass off....every day. During this time my entire family was covered by medical/dental and vision for 11 months out of the year even though I was only working 7 of them. That alone was worth it to me to get me through. Anyway like I said before I got "the" call and was given 20 minutes notice to get to the building and start my official UPS career. Anything is possible and yes luck is involved but if you work hard enough and stand out you will be noticed. I have learned that all management cares about is safety and numbers and if you can do that you are valuable no matter where you are coming from inside or out.
