How hard is it to get a week off if your out of personal/vacation time for personal reasons.
If it were me, I'd try to make it a week before Memorial Day, after that, with vacations, the staffing is always tight. I usually have to work 5 days a week from June 1-Aug 31. That just kills me.
Leave of absence... it's covered in your contract book... don't remember all the details, but it is there.
If they don't like you - no chance in hell.
Hes speaking of article 16 sec 2. You can ask for a leave of absence. They dont have to grant it though. Your required to submit the request in writing to UPS and teamsters 30 days ahead of time unless you dont know when you will need it. They have to respond w/ in 10 days.
Blackjack, Not sure where you are located but out here in Northern California if you have the days on the books and you give them 10 working days written notice they have to give you the time as long as they are available. As long as there isn't 5% of the drivers off in your center you should be good. I don't know how much time that they have to get back to you for that but it should be within a day or so. Good Luck
Its 10 days bro. It doesnt say working. Also you can bump a lower seniority person signed up if you give 30 working days notice.
