[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 643275, member: 14003"] Your center is not closing so I don't think this language would apply. I would also think the Satelite Guidelines would override this language as those were made specifically for satelite center situations. As far as you having to bump another driver and so on down the line, worry about you. I am in a satelite center and the main center is 40 miles away. Most of us that work here live near the satelite location. We had a driver at the satelite whose route was eliminated this year as part of the UPS cost-cutting measures. Instead of bumping a junior driver here at the satelite and sending him 40 miles away, he decided to be a nice guy and worked as assigned at the satelite. A couple months later another driver bid out of the satelite and this driver bid and won the vacated satelite route. Unfortunately for him there was some other bumping going on at the main center and a driver bumped him off his newly acquired route at the satelite. And again, unfortunately for him, this was the third move bump and he was left without a route and now has to drive the 40 miles to the main center to report to work. If he had looked out for himself instead of trying to be a nice guy he would still be here at our satelite. I respect him for not wanting to screw his friend over, and the friend told me that he wouldn't have blamed him if he did, but this is UPS-sometimes you just have to look out for yourself because nobody else will.
