Freeze period, western.

[PT Car Washer]

I get that, I started this time in 2017 as a package handler and gained my seniority 9 months later. He's still being a dick.

Took 9 months to gain seniority? Only takes 30 working days in my Local.

As a package handler?

All jobs.

 

[RebelAtHeart]

All jobs.

Damn, maybe it was just my insurance that took 9 months to get, I'll go look at my pay stubs real quick and see when dues started.

Yeah 9 months for insurance to kick in as a PT.

Official seasonal period is november 15. I'm flakey on the rest but that would imply having to start work by the start of october to reasonably get enough days in to qualify. Hell management here already started pvds and i am so unbelievably mad!

Yup, just checked, started paying union dues after 30 days.

In my workday it already says I'm hired and FT but, I'll just try to prove my worth (again) and hope they keep me.

Ours starts Nov 1st. The company can start using PVDs and Seasonal employees. Why is there a difference in dates?

I'm being hired as a 22.4 in California, is there a freeze period on gaining seniority here?
I am a former union member, worked in Stockton, CA on local sort, gained seniority, went to integrad, passed, left before I got a route, got my rehire status approved and have to attend integrad again in like 2 weeks.

You're in norcal supp like @Brown287

I took a quick look at your supp but didn't see anything about a free period. One thing that will make it obvious if you're just a seasonal or not is if they start a packet with you.

You can also contact your local and ask if there is a free period or not. (925)-228-2246

Lol, definitely sheltered.

Beat it @Barney

Thank you, I ended up looking at the Norcal supp and all I read was that seasonal hires start November 1st. I will definitely get ahold of my local on Monday.

Oct. 15th-Jan. 15th here is peak/free period. Back in my RPCD days my route was the first to get a helper on Oct. 15th.

What's this thread about

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I want facts. Is there a freeze period in California, I read there is not one.
I know I have no seniority anymore, that's not my question.

You need to type slowly- the guy you're interacting with is challenged...

Can you please let me know which article in the contract covers PVD?

 

[eats packages]

I just realized I never really paid attention to the updated contract, just mad about 22.4s I'm sure. seasonal period was rolled back to October 1. And days counted on packet continue through the period so you just had to be started in september.

explains why pvds are out so early and nobody blinked an eye.

It's also important to know that pvds, as the company wants to use them, are technically seasonal drivers in the contract language.

What's this thread about

It's the start of threads of people saying they were hired fulltime in October ,then they get butthurt when told they are seasonal.

it'll progress to the OP saying we are all stupid and wrong because his center manager and Supe says he 's the greatest thing to ever happen to UPS since Jim Casey.
They just KNOW they will be made full time in January because of their awesomeness.

Then after Christmas they disappear and ae never heard of again.
This is always an entertaining time of the year
