Is it possible to transfer from Freight to a hub?

[somebodiesgot]

Once you are in the union, is it possible to transfer from freight to a hub?

Or would you basically leave the union and have to be off-the-street and pay union dues all over again?

Thanks.

Two completely separate divisions within the Company.

You would have to start all over again.


Resident know-it-all.

Figured it would be starting all over again but didn't know how that would work with the union- Thanks.

Your years towards retirement Would still apply.

Are you sure about that?

2 different divisions but the same union

Same Local Union or not, I would make damn sure that I knew exactly what the ramifications were if I was not vested and I was concerned about retaining my accrued years.

The wording suggests to me that the OP may not be a Teamster yet and is maybe trying to figure out if there is a backdoor through Freight.

If your pension is through your local and you were staying in the same local then yes.

Just curious what happens if he takes a part-time position at UPS to get foot in the door and he wasn't vested before coming to UPS? I just don't see how that would have worked with both of my pensions if I had attempted something similar.

I will agree with the semantics of your phrase but not all of my part-time retirement was through the Teamsters (thus NOT "through your local" coming to UPS as a part-timer) so I would not have been able to satisfy the statement you made but that is a detail that I would recommend he determine for CERTAIN in his scenario.

I am a teamster and have been at Freight for a few months, my problem is as of recently I've been cut 2-3 days a week as a part-timer, and none of the other part-timers are getting any time either (as I have the most seniority), so I was just curious if I could switch to a hub if it meant getting more hours at a lower rate.

You can have your local recommend you be hired at the HUB. They will trade some grievances to make sure you get hired.
