He would lose seniority but would retain pension credit for years of service.

You said in this post hr can tell u if u can transfer or not. Please tell me if you can. In most cases dealing with transfers you can only go within the coverage of your areas supplement. Make some calls and let me know. If you aren't vested in your pension yet, ask if you will lose that also.

Better stay put then. If you want to transfer you probably could fill out a transfer request form for a bldg. within your areas supplemental agreement. He would lose seniority, but keep all pay rates, vacation weeks earned, etc.

First of all don't make what could turn out to be a terrible decision based on info you get off an internet website. There can be a lot of good info on the BC BUT there also a lot of BS. You should be talking to your HR dept or calling your local Union and even at that I wouldn't believe half of what you are told. Good luck because when it comes to questions like yours--no one seems to have the correct answer. Personally I wouldn't risk the move.

That's the only way to do it though. You talk to the center manager where you want to go and HR there. They agree to hire you.
Basically "quit" on a Friday and get rehired Monday at the new place. It is a risk but that's about the only way. Unless you're in the west.

He wouldn't necessarily lose seniority if staying in the same local.
He's crossing state lines though so it doesn't sound like that would be the case for him.

I'm pretty sure the hub is the Redmond facility. Seattle pays $11 starting, Redmond and Tukwila both $10 starting, and that's as much as I know. Seattle also starts education benefits day one. It's also much cheaper than living anywhere near SoCal unless you want to live in the middle of the city ofc.
Actually I was in the same position as you I worked out of Sylmar as a package handler loading in the night sort once I hit my year I filed my educational transfer signed up for a few classes and I bugged the
