[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 313793, member: 198"] I do think that transfers should retain their seniority ("dove tailed") but only after completing a 6 month or year long probation. I like how FedEx Express handles theirs. They get an employee number when hired and that number follows them where ever they transfer. There is a lady in my area that transfered in from another state and she won the bid (yes, they bid full-time openings even though they aren't union) almost right after she started driving at the station here. FedEx drivers will build up their seniority and transfer to an area they'd like to retire too. I just think their system for handling transfers and seniority is better. With that said.....UPS doesn't work like that and the contract says you go to the bottom of the new location's seniority list. That's all transfers need to know. I went through the same thing. Yeah it sucks knowing that I would have been full-time before a bunch of the guys ahead of me if my original hire date would have counted. I was thinking that today when one of those guys bumped me off a route I like to run. But that's how things are at UPS and there is nothing I can do about it. [/QUOTE]
