[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 882464, member: 12570"] Pension plans differ from region to region. Most employees are covered by the UPS/IBT Pension Plan while others are covered by pension plans administered by the Teamsters only. Monthly pension payments vary from as little as $2,500 to as high as $5,500 or more depending on your plan. I am fortunate to be covered by one of the more generous pension plans (NYS Teamsters Pension Plan). My point? If we were allowed to transfer anywhere within UPS don't you think this would be one of the factors to be considered? Also, when you transfer in to a center, you become the low man on the totem pole for bidding purposes but retain company seniority for vacations. I believe transfers are allowed within the Western Conference. If your manager did say what you claim he said then he is as dirty as you and your husband would be if you followed his suggestion. Let me give you another example of employees abusing perks. We are allowed to take up to 4 days, depending on distance travelled, following the death of a family member. Search this forum and you will find stories about employees taking 4 days for a funeral held in the same town. The same goes for jury duty--we are paid our 8 hours for each day that we are on jury duty yet you can search again and find stories of guys who show up to jury duty and are sent home within an hour or even less yet don't bother to call their mgt team to see if they should come in or not. There are even stories of center teams fraudulently coding employees as being on jury duty. The right way to do it is to quit at your current location, ask for a positive rehire status and then apply at your new location. This can all be set up ahead of time with a little leg work on your husband's part. [/QUOTE]
