[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 314136, member: 9789"] What you are not considering is that this goes both ways. You want your cake and eat it to (so to speak). Seniority is about building time and as you build time to allow some degree of job security. You will not feel the way you do now 20 years from now. UPS has a good system. If you decide to transfer why should you bump someone else out of a position. How did you feel when you got bumped off your route? There is no difference. NOW, if you are FORCED to transfer why should you lose your seniority that you built up? This is where "the dovetail" comes into play. It is all about being fair and doing the right thing. UPS and I believe the union as well is not big on transferring around. I know that when I was around for 5 years as a driver, I decided not to transfer because of being the low person on the totem pole! I did not want to run utility again. It discouraged me from making that move. I had to drive an extra hour to work. As you can see with Joopster's case it is an administration nightmare. [/QUOTE]
