Wow a reasonable conclusion from a sup.You sound like the type that walks around and thinks he is a model employee, but in fact really isn't.
A model employee doesn't swear at other employees because he's.
As for the vacation, you should have entered it in PTRS like you do everyday with your timecard.
As for the working, sometimes that is what you have to do. If you laid them off again that's on you. Sack up and tell the center manager you're going to be short if that were to happen and it would open you up to grievances if you don't. You should know your staffing needs as preload supervisor.
If you were "cussed" out by the union steward you should have brought him right to the office for a meeting. Bring another steward in as a witness. Just because he's a steward doesn't mean he can do whatever he pleases.
Contrary to what you may want, just because you applied for the sup position doesn't mean you get to have it. You're not entitled to any position. If you were so good you'd already be in the position. Instead you seem to run into trouble everywhere you turn. Eventually you have to step back and look at the whole picture. You've had a problem with your old center manager, division HR, district HR, your new sup, and your new center manager. Quite a lot of people to piss off. Who do you think is going to sit there and say "Yeah, he'd be an awesome sort supervisor!"
You're not being promoted because if any of this is true (which I'm thinking we're missing a lot of important information) you're a hot head that apparently likes to get into spats with local management. UPS does move within. But you seem to have some issues all over the board.
You win the internet today.
Gumby would be proud.
