Screwed out of vacation

[MN driver]

Specifically asked for a certain week of vacation on my vacation form, was denied, said it was already full. Then found out someone with less seniority was given that week. Can anything be done?

More than likely he traded a week with a high senority driver.

That can't happen unless every driver between then doesn't want the week....

Yes, File a grievance tomorrow don't wait. Make sure you have a copy of the weeks you wanted and then were given. Not what weeks that your weren't given and the people with less seniority that were given those dates and there seniority date....

Driver with more seniority can't trade weeks with drivers with less seniority unless every driver in between then agree so if they say driver 10 traded with driver 50 on the seniority list and your driver 35 that a bunch of BS...

We don't ask for weeks. We sign up in seniority order. When a week is full nobody else can sign up for it. Been like that for 25 years.

It can and does happen All the time. Thing is they usually don't change it on the schedule so most people never know about it.

As long as you didn't turn in your vacation request late you should get those weeks, but UPS does frequently screw up things like that.

I try to get screwed on my vacations.

We traded weeks all the time-- and it never involved anyone other than the two who wanted to switch vacations.

My point exactly

So glad I don't have those issues to deal with. All I have to do is make sure I don't try for the same weeks as my fellow mechanic and I have seniority.

 

[Jackburton]

Good thing I cash mine out so I don't have to get pissed and let someone who wants a good week a better chance at it.

I have done it for guys a couple of times who wanted a week in the summer and weren't high enough in seniority. But I understand how that is unfair to the drivers between us in seniority to not have the same chance at those weeks, so I refuse to do it anymore.

I guess I don't see it that way. If someone with more seniority wanted that week off they could have asked me first to trade.

There shouldn't be any trading period, it violates the whole principle of bidding in seniority order. I would absolutely file on it if I heard about whether it involved me directly or not.

The grieving driver should obtain 1 week from each of the violating parties.
