[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 981876, member: 32753"] What prevents us from having a contract that allows transfers? Why don't we have this? FedEx and the Post Office do. Real simple: Transfer if there is an opening, less preference than someone bidding on that job from that building (or local, if the local covers more than one hub), but more than someone hired off the street (make it so a transfer counts as the "off the street" hire for the 1 street hire for every 6 internal promotion, or whatever the ratio is). If you transfer, you keep your company time, level of sick/personal/vacation days per the local contract (sort of like how a driver bidding into a 22.3 job who was at top rate goes to the top rate of that 22.3 position, which is probably less than a driver's top rate, and vice versa), but is slotted at the bottom of seniority lists, as if he was a street hire. This respects the time he has put into the company, hut doesn't disrespect the local force who may already be working up the ladder in their local and shouldn't be unfairly pushed back by a "new guy". I'd also like to see the ability to use vacation "days" as opposed to "weeks". [/QUOTE]
