I've seen people post that is allowed in there "area".
Most people have to be available when the bid comes down, or by the time the company
is contractually required to fill the job.

Here, you can bid if on Workers Comp, but not STD.
We fought hard for the Comp consideration, as we believe that you should not lose any seniority rights when injured in the service of the employer.

Good win.
Not much history (in my Local) with that. I can only remember one case and it was STD. Driver was awarded the
the bid because he was back in time, but I've seen people file on it because they missed a bid. They didn't
understand it was the drivers obligation to check for bid sheets, not the Union's or company's obligation
to inform them there were bid sheets up....

Yeah, but would it kill UPS to do anything at all in a modern way? Always taping stupid papers to a door, or posting a moronic paper schedule on a wall... There's no excuse for it!
If you have been off work for a while, you always have to call some office dweeb to find out your start time, or try to catch a friend that might have a picture of the schedule.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
They called me to come in and bid when I was on comp. Someone covered the route till I got back.

Responsibility sucks

You are confusing responsibility with convenience. Paper schedules tacked to a door ended around 1996. Almost 30 years ago.
Tell that to liberty mutual for me
They suck
I’ve been out a year with a minor injury because they keep denying everything and then it goes the court and judge says they have to pay, rinse and repeat

In my area because we bid routes for life so to speak. You can bid a route no matter the reasons you are out. Leave of absence, FMLA, Comp, disability, it doesn't matter. Now it's the members responsibility to make him/her self aware of the route bid not the companies. So they need to inform friends or a steward to let them know if something goes up. Though this is only for bidding routes. Taking a RPCD bid position you must be "ready" and qualified to take the position.
