[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1124945, member: 24302"] [b]Re: Express gave exground employee position over express drivers with lower employee[/b] Of course they can. Several years ago I put in for a 4X10 cover driver posting in Victoria, TX. I was number one, and then told by mgr that they posted the position "just to see if there was any interest". Called their HR about it, got a call from their HR rep who in a very aggressive tone kept asking if I planned to file a GFT, telling me I couldn't, but wasn't satisfied until I said I wouldn't. I figured one of two things happened. Either they wanted a certain person hired and were waiting me out until I withdrew(ended up being only applicant), or my sr mgr called the director who was over my station and Victoria and got position taken from me so that he could hang on to me. Before I transferred here I was told by my sr mgr that lateral moves weren't being allowed by couriers and that only transfers that were upgrades to swings or mgrs were being allowed. I checked JCATS and not only were there FT courier positions being posted but my senior had posted 2 of them at our sister station that very week. So I was being BSed but had an ace up my sleeve, I had a signed offer letter.
