Seasonal workers being hired permanent before October 15th??

Nope. They're going to learn a lesson the hard way - to get any business offer in writing. I hope I'm wrong.

Ups would never put that in writing....

If you have a Wife and she has the ability to get her own Insurance, then she will NOT be covered.
My Sups tell me their Insurance sucks for what they have to pay. I guess there is the ACA (Obama Care)

Part Time Insurance is the Best you can get anywhere UPS or Teamcare run. With the New ACA laws you should check into if you will qualify for it faster? If NOT
then I suggest ACA for a year, since it might be 18 months for the children to get added.

I would only be a SUP if I was Young and did it while UPS paid for my College!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Initially it will mean a bigger paycheck (minus what the insurance cost) but also more hours and a greater commitment. Hang in there as an hourly and you will have free insurance for your family and eventually a larger paycheck for the hours worked. Also a chance to go full time driver if that is what you want. Part time sup is a dead end for most people. Just look around you.

Just my opinion. You decide what is best for you and yours.

One of the seasonal hires on our sort told me they were hired as a "permanent" hire since the new contract says they can be hired up to October 15th as permanent hires. All I could say to them was to call the local union - we don't have a steward on our sort.

Does this sound correct? Or just smoke blown up their ass by HR and the FT/PT sup's?

He hasn't made his 30 days he's not a permanent employee until he does. If he still around after the Jan 1,old contract and Jan 15 if new contract is in place then he will be a permanent employee until those dates he on probation.

If you need more Hours do Driver Helper, here it pays $12.88 an hour.

Here in New England the old contract has the free period from Oct 1 to Dec 31. Some temporary workers were added prior to Oct 15. Should the new contract go into effect prior to Dec 31, will the company be able to work those employees until Jan 15th, or will they have to be let go and only those temps that started after Oct 15th be allowed to stay until Jan15th?
