Can a part-timer at UPS bid into a full-time job?

Yes. Article 22.3/22.4 reserves a share of full-time openings for inside part-timers in seniority order.

The UPS National Master Agreement (Articles 22.3 and 22.4) requires the company to create and post full-time inside jobs and to fill a defined share of full-time openings from the part-time ranks. Eligibility is based on part-time seniority, and bids are awarded in seniority order subject to the contractual 6-for-1 (or similar) ratio in your contract.

Once awarded, the part-timer starts a new full-time progression and earns full-time seniority from the date of the bid, while keeping their part-time seniority for benefits and vacation accrual where the supplement allows.
