I have a unique situation that no one has ever seen in the company, as far as I've been told. I transferred from Edison, NJ to Norwalk, CT (education tranfer). My last day working in NJ was April 12th, 2019. On April 13th I broke my hand and filed for disability. My healthcare was terminated because there was no contribution made by my local. I called 177 and they continue to provide my insurance until I return to work and get passed off to local 191. During my lack of coverage I learned that the healthcare in CT is absolutely horrible in comparison to what I had in NJ. After paying $10 co-pays there's no way I can accept paying the $50 co-pay from the Blue Cross Blue Shield provided insurance. My wife and son rely heavily on the great benefits from Aetna. I realized we made a mistake in relocating to CT. I had no idea the insurance would be different.
Here's where it starts to get crazy. I finished my first semester in school and immediately began the educational transfer process all over again. I enrolled, got my schedule and proof of payment; I turned my request in and gave it about a week before I called to check the status of my request. H.R. told me they will not process my request because I'm on disability and not showing active. Although my transfer request was approved to go to CT, I never worked a day in that building. All of my information is still linked to local 177, the Edison, NJ hub and Dave Brennen. I've scoured the handbook looking for anything that backs up what H.R. has told me to no avail. The H.R. Manager, Sorya, who runs this area told me that because I'm not active that I wouldn't be able to log onto the very site I'm typing this message on. When I sent her a screen shot of me logged into UPSers.com, she then proceeded to tell me that I couldn't login to iGate for training. When I asked for what reason do I need to do computer training, her answer was NVRMND. I've disproved her statements on several occasions which proves to me that she is uninformed or not sure how to help, so she gives automated responses.
So, If I never worked a single day in CT, put in a transfer to go back to my home building and all of my UPS info is STILL linked to my home building and union then why is the company standing so firm on NOT letting me go back. Logic tells me that this should be a very simple fix. A few signatures and key strokes is what holds all the power. My name has been in the system since 2005. I feel like I should be treated with a little dignity instead of a commodity or indentured servant. I just want to go home.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

s too, because you obviously didn't consider hardly anything before you packed up the wife and kid, and steered the family truckster onto the highway towards Norwalk, CT this time.
