Giving me a hard time of becoming a sorter

[TheKid99]

Hi

I asked to be a sorter when I started but they said I need to be good at loading before I go to sort

Few months passed and I asked again but my full time sup said it goes by seniority

But they're putting seasonal workers straight to sort and people with less seniority then me...

What can I do?

This is a union job. Goes by seniority. Seasonal workers are not union. Wait it out...

I thought you were hired for a driving position...because you posted in a thread about you used to drive for USPS?

But to answer this question...you can stop being a whiny and load trucks. Maybe you haven't worked here long enough to realize yet, but UPS doesn't give a damn about what you want or what position you ask to do. WAD

Be fast at every other position, work to the best of your ability, become one or ATLEAST try to with a sort isle sup, bother that sup and MAYBE you'll get noticed and put into sort. And sort isn't all about seniority. It's how good you actually are at the position.

You need to work with the friend/T sup to sort this out.
If that don't work, file a grieve.
