[QUOTE="Sweeper, post: 5402710, member: 66635"] Here Oct. 1st is the day the free period starts for feeders. You would be a casual. You would likely be let go prior Jan. 15th. If they kept you on after Jan 15th you would gain seniority. If business needs picked up later in the winter, and all seniority drivers were already working, they would attempt to call back the “best“ people. You are being treated as those that have come before you, even if they need people they don’t like to put them on until after Oct 1st. The company will always hold out until October. This gives them the flexibility to not have to keep you on, if the powers that be change there minds on staffing needs. Local management will not get a say in how many are kept if any. It all comes from above. Those dates I mentioned above are not the same throughout the company. They vary due to union contracts (supplements) differing around the country. I wouldn’t let anything I’ve said above discourage you if your intent is to work here. There are many people that eventually gained seniority exactly the way I explained above. [/QUOTE]
