Another option is to let the two dovetail into another building.

Sounds like the Union did the right thing. Doesn't sound like much opportunity if there is only one
feeder position in the building. Company mistake.... let them deal with it.

You ever heard anything like this happening before and trying to change the transfer after almost a year??

I've seen a FT driver get sent back to part time after a year because a PTer filed a grievance when he found out he was skipped.

Nope. We can only transfer between buildings in the Local. And you have to sign a bid.

What would that do ? It's not like you can bring a lawyer to a grievance hearing.
You’re right. There is only 1 feeder driver position. The “Back up position” is not a thing. There’s drivers from another town near by that cover the run when needed. The “back up” position would work a few days the whole month. It’s not a position and the driver made sure before they transferred that it wasn’t an option.

Someone mistakenly approved a transfer? Who? The wife is suffering as well.
I’m just a bystander. I check in to see what’s going on because I’m curious. I’ve never heard of a case like this. Just like I’m curious when Portland lays off 300. I like to know why.
Lawyer might be a good idea, but not sure what they would be able to do. From what I was told no one wants to take the case. Force UPS to pay them compensation. Good luck.

No body could blame you for getting a lawyer.

Out of all the employees brown had to
up on it was this guy with special needs kids…Yeah, still doing the job. The package driver that gets to take over has been on disability I think for 6 months. Package driver transferred here from another state and was in the building right before the feeder driver transferred.
I guess the guy taking over went from working in package on bottom of the call list to feeder. 1 year in new hub, 5 years with company. No semi truck experience. No CDL. Guy got a serious pay raise and actually gets a run. That’s probably a good reason why he wanted it.

Did the guy who transferred from another state moved because they knew this feeder job was opening up or was it just coincidence? That’s the problem with these small mom and pop operations…one or two feeder jobs and probably all night work. You’re just kinda stuck there unless you can transfer somewhere else…so what state was this in if you don’t mind
me asking??
Ones in a wheelchair.
The package driver that’s taking over moved here from another state. Hawaii I believe? I don’t know the details why they moved here. Maybe because it costs a lot to live in Hawaii.
The feeder driver that has to go back transferred from a hub 3 hours south. Same state. They transferred to be closer to family.
