[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 48189"] Perhaps you are correct tie, but "The reason that UPS discourages drivers to relocate is that there are different Teamster. . ." seems a pretty straight forward assignment of blame to me. Not to mention if that was the true reason then there wouldn't be any reason to not allow drivers to transfer within their own pension fund areas. For instance, mine is Central States and covers about a third of the USA, but UPS does not allow full-time employees to transfer at all in my neck of the woods. I cannot transfer to anywhere, not even to a center thirty miles away short of my center closing. So to me that just sounds like a pass the blame on the union for a UPS decision. In my regional contract transfers (only for center closing type situations) are cut and dried regarding seniority issues. You are dovetailed at the bottom of the seniority list as far as bidding rights, choosing vacations and that seems fair to me. Must be different in other Regional Supplementals to be talking about this causing difficulties in how it's to be handled. And where there are wage and other contractual differences you abide by the area you move to just like everyone else. After all it is your decision to transfer (if UPS allowed that right). I understand why UPS doesn't want to get into the logistic dance of migrating workers, but don't blame the union when that isn't the reason. [/QUOTE]
