If you both have the same FT seniority date then it should by company seniority.Like the title says I worked pre load and he came off the streets to become a driver and I put a bid in for rpcd and he did to but he won the bid

I'm guessing he's a 22.4 and you're a preloader.Like the title says I worked pre load and he came off the streets to become a driver and I put a bid in for rpcd and he did to but he won the bid

Isn’t the company required to make one “off the street” hire for every six or so “inside the building” hires for full time driver?

If you are both 22.4 with the same FT seniority date then you should have won the bid becauseof your PT service.
If he got his seniority date one day ahead of you, even if he's off the street, he gets it because he was FT before you. Need to find out the exact dates you two both went FT and go from there.
Good news is that if he won the bid, worst case you should be next.

They are not required to, they are allowed to hire at a 6:1 ratio. But that language was more for when they had PTers that wanted to drive, they couldn't just hire off the street to keep the PT work force intact.
Now, at least in my building, they are hiring at more than that because no one is coming out from the building.

Sounds like he was a 22.4 before you which gave him full time seniority over you. Doesn’t matter that you were with the company first. Classification seniority is often ridiculous. Especially when it comes to off the street hires. It used to take forever to go full time in the hubs. Off the street hires prolongs the wait even more.Like the title says I worked pre load and he came off the streets to become a driver and I put a bid in for rpcd and he did to but he won the bid
I think most UPSers would agree that off the street hiring should be done away with. It’s wrong and doesn’t even produce the desired outcome that corporate aims for by doing so. Our last “off the street” supervisor hire refused to go back into management and the three before that regret their decision to go back.

Who punched in first?
I just remember when I started three of us was all hired on the same date. One guy punched in front of me And he was first on a senior list I punched it after him and the other guy punched in after me was last out of us three

Who was higher on the 22.4 seniority list after integrad? If he was hired off the street then they could have considered him hired before you even though you both attended integrad together. Either way….it’s standard practice for HR to inform new hires that are hired the same day who has more juice. If not the seniority list would have shown that therefore you’d know already.

did you flip a coin for seniority? That is how we did it.
