[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 48194"] That is a silly stretch dawg, do some research instead of the ole "[i]blame it on the union[/i] slam. The various Teamster pension plans have recognized reciprocal agreements with each other for decades. I know at my center we are shorthanded, overdispatched, using supes to cover routes by themselves in the name of service and have just put up some permanent driver position openings and could certainly use some veteran drivers immediately. I suspect this situation is endemic nationwide and those out of work drivers could easily be assimilated into the workforce. Most of them into centers with the same pension fund. In fact, the IBT has already come to agreement with UPS on this with the other major transport corporations and UPS. "The Teamsters union has worked with Yellow Roadway, ABF, and USF Holland so that employees at those companies who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina will be offered work ahead of casuals at their respective locations. The policy affects displaced Teamsters in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. IBT also has reached an agreement with UPS that allows displaced workers to transfer to other locations where work is available for which they are qualified, keeping their health and pension coverage as well as retaining seniority for vacation, holidays, and other benefits.
