[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 500294, member: 198"] After I went on active duty I talked to JAG at my active duty base about this. Also talked to USERRA reps at two different reserve/guard bases. They all said the same exact thing. When you come back you are entitled to any job that was vacated/created that was filled by someone with less seniority than you. When I came back from active duty I was trained as a part-time cover driver immediately and was dovetailed into the seniority list ahead of a couple of people with less seniority that bid into the job while I was gone. When I did my last annual tour (two weeks training) for the Reserves I ran into a UPS driver while on lunch break that was in the Army National Guard and had deployed. When he returned he found out that a full-time driver was hired while he was gone and he had more seniority than the person. When he tried to exercise his rights under USERRA to obtain a full-time job he was denied. He had to get a lawyer. Once the lawyer came knocking on UPS's door he given the job pretty quickly and received a rather nice apologetic letter from corporate. Most guard and reserve bases have USERRA reps. Even some active duty bases have them. They even have USERRA briefings as part as in-processing as a new troop. They are very useful. [/QUOTE]
