Transfers and moving

[MECH-lift]

My husband works for UPS as a driver. We desperately want to move to South Carolina we’re currently living in Oregon has there been any stories of people moving and being able to stay a driver without starting completely over? We are planning on going to vacation next year there and plan on going into a few different centers to talk to people.

Your husband is seasonal

He’d have to quit and get rehired. Start pay scale and everything all over.

How long has been a driver

Not too long I think he started in July but we have elderly parents moving across the country We would like to be there to help take care of them but this is more just a dream I’m just seeing if it is even a possibility.

Wait hold on, how old is your husband to have elderly parents? Is your husband starting at UPS in his 50's??

His parents are in there 60s and no he’s in his late 30s.

In this forum careful with the term elderly. Most retire before 60 and elderly kicks in around 80.

This is the monthly wife asking about a transfer because she does not believe her husband.

You cannot transfer from OR to SC. He would have to talk to HR and arrange a quit and rehire. Start over at minimum wage and wait until he has enough part time seniority to become a new driver again. And then wait 4 years to get paid top pay.

Why can't your elderly parents move to Oregon?
Seems like that would be the least stressful and cheapest way to do it.

Hope this helps.

Miranda15, just so your not in total shock, I once was looking to move to beach town in NC. Stopped in to talk to building manager, he told me they haven’t hired a full time driver in 4 years. Making our wages with all our benefits, even after driving for 25-30 years, turnover Is slow and low.

Who gets in the way of transferring more, the union or the company? The company has a policy for non union employees to be able to follow a spouse if they get a job that requires relocating. How can we not negotiate something similar into the master?

It is a pension issue. The OP is in Oregon, which has one of the best pension plans in the nation. He wants to transfer to SC. How healthy is their pension plan. How does the union calculate pension benefits for such a transfer??

More than likely if he did get rehired he would more than likely be a 22.4 driver.

Sounds like he is not vested yet, so no pension consideration would be made. He has to quit and be rehired, I see no other path.

You can only transfer to another location in the western region. Lots of warm states to the south west.

He’s in the western supplement. No chance of transferring that far away. Being the pension changes alone, there is no way he will be transferred. Game over.
