[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2271333, member: 52145"] I understand where you are coming from. i'm from the west and went through hell to get my "hardship" transfer because of a sick family member. since i was not following work i had to start at the bottom of list. feeder to feeder. it worked out pretty well for me since i was only on relief for 3 years before i got a bid run for the rest of my career. i have never heard of a transfer not following work that could just dovetail seniority. you may have to start at the bottom but that depends on the rules in your district. have you asked any senior employees in your hub or have spoken to the head of HR? i know from experience that hardly anyone wants to help you since it just means more work for them. We heard NO and "it's impossible" so many times it made our heads spin. but once in awhile some supervisor or a long time employee would tell us it was possible and to keep trying. even a top district HR manager told us it was impossible. management and even the union may tell you , you will have to quit and start from scratch at the new hub. DON'T DO THAT! there have been several drivers that have quit, believing UPS , and then go to the new hub and being told "don't know what you are talking about." SOL. our contract book has language regarding transfers. we had to submit a request for transfer in writing to the HR office YEARLY as the contract stated. also MAKE COPIES as that will be necessary. make 5 copies of everything in writing. as you said , it may be different in your district and each district and hubs make their own rules. if you have heard of similar transfers, track down that person or get as much info as possible. that establishes a precedent. once a precedent has been set that will help you establish your goal. good luck. a lot of work and some luck may get you there. don't give up. ( and they will try their hardest to make you give up ) [/QUOTE]
