Not under Teamcare. You are covered on a week by week basis for any week UPS is required to make a contribution on your behalf. Once terminated, UPS is no longer required to make a contribution. You may be thinking of an off the job injury. 4 weeks of coverage before you have to pick up a COBRA policy.

When you retire you are still covered for 30 days and I think that also applies to other situations.

You are covered for the balance of the month.

Agreed, but most people retire effective on the or near the first of the month.

No you are not. You used to be. It used to be 1 punch a month to be covered for the month. Now, it is 1 punch a week to be covered for the week. You will have coverage for the rest of the week, not the rest of the month. It changed under Teamcare.

Not all retirees are on Teamcare. I'm not and never was.

I have had a Teamster healthcare plan for all of my 25 years and in our plan you are covered for the balance of the month when you are terminated.

Agreed. This only affects teamcare. Which now the majority of UPSers are in, but not all of them. So no, it does not affect all, but it does affect most.

See post above. I never meant to say that it affects all, but it does affect most who are in Teamcare.

As a motor carrier they're required to report the results of the drug test. Anyone who verifies your employment history will also receive the results of your drug tests.
Honestly, you deserve to be fired for using drugs. I would not represent anyone who did.

Funny because I work in the "hard nose" union you describe, and there's plenty of people testing positive and gone. PT, FT, etc. I've also seen many go through SAP's successfully.
The one thing to take from this thread is BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.
Just checking back after months without working for UPS. I really miss my job. I spoke to my shift supervisor last week very briefly and he said he wished I was still around. Should I forget I ever worked here and move on entirely or is it worth (or even possible) trying to reapply and start from the bottom?

Very, very unlikely unless the test results were borderline on the confirmatory. UPS uses DOT regulations as the contractual standards for testing non-DOT employees. 15 ng/mL for the test and 50 ng/mL for the confirmatory test (GC/MS).
High THC levels (100 ng/mL+) are viewed as being intoxicated on the job by the company. This is why its important for non-DOT employees to request a blood test while also giving a urine sample.

Depends on how you were logged into the system. You were almost certainly put on the "do not rehire" list. If you go to re-apply and can't seem to get a tour date, this is why.
