[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 223047, member: 8259"] The first guy in our center that went to OEF came back and could have been in feeders. After a few weeks back that trained him in a class where he was the only student and then they dovetailed his senority. No one was laid off because they needed more drivers anyhow. I do remember him saying that they did not want to give him his spot in senority because they said it would not be fair to the other drivers. In the end I do not think they had a choice. There are many protections provided under USSERA. He should not do like I did and just assume that UPS managers know all the ins and outs of that law. There are resources availabe to him and once they know what the law is they will have no problem taking care of him. The government will spend a lot of resources to make sure these large companies comply. There are also other provisions in there to make sure that UPS does not put him in the school and just DQ him or fire him without just cause. When we did our out processing we had to attend a two hour brief on this issue. I was very tired after a 20 flight and do not remember everything, but the basic principle was if there were a problem the entire burden was on the employer as long as you met some basic qualifications( things like honorable discharge, time in service limits, request in writing for reemployment). There may be some kind of exception that allows them to wait until they need another driver but I could not find it. For all the information they gave us this does not sound likely. Anyway I think your friend already know all of this. [/QUOTE]
