22.4 Worries

[PackageCarStar]

Hi, I just got promoted from unload to 22.4. I was told it would be permanent after peak, but I have heard that UPS promotes part-timers to “permanent” positions during peak and then DQ’s them when they are no longer needed, dumping them back to pt. How true is this?

22.4 is a manipulative position ups and the union came up with to lure preload and afternoon sort into “full time” positions with the company for less pay.

Give it a try and make the money. A lot of drivers like me are retiring and spots will open up. The worse that can happen is you get bumped back to Preload after Peak. We have trouble keeping drivers where I am at.

Almost all of our 22.4 drivers are off the street either due to the fact that a lot of our PT already make more than starting 22.4 or the new hires are not qualified or not interested in a FT job.

I would say worst that can happen is they decide they hate it and never want to drive full time.


I’d say anymore that happens with about 75% of Xmas seasonal drivers.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully I make scratch!

It depends also on when you start on the road. If you are going out this week or already have been out, you should have enough time to get your 30 days in to qualify. If you work day 31 before Nov. 15 (at least in my area, supplemental language may vary) then you are in before the free period.

Work 5 days a week and call your hall or talk to your steward, find out the details relative to your area.

Can you work Saturdays the next 25 years?

Sadly I am just missing the deadline to qualify

22.4 is a full time position you qualify for, you just don't have 9.5 protections. What you are describing sounds like just seasonal driving.

Your packet freezes from October 15 to whenever they decide the end date of peak is. That’s how it is here in Texas. Local 657

We have many FT drivers with Nov and Dec seniority dates. Just depends on what you were hires for, Seasonal or FT.
