save your self some trouble,call your BA.Doesn't southern conference have a LOA provision for like a couple months?
I would say that is a posibility.....if the company says its alright. They were given out few and far between, and I never seeen it at RDWY. The other thing was that pension and H/W were supposed to be paid by you before ya went on leave. I "heard at some" Locals that requirement was waved. I personally don't know of anyone that pulled it off, it was just more language that did'nt seem to apply to anyone. FMLA could be classed as fraud. And like the man said, your BA may be more help than us.so just taking a leave of absence to attend school is ok? My dilemma is return to work for a week or continue with school.
How much time did you have at YRC?Just resign like I did.
I hope you have youth on your side and can start over.With YRC and Yellow, combined total of almost 6 years. Moved during the C.O.O. and had a bid, just not a good one.
I figured out what the deal was the other day.
a. You lose your pension credits if you are separated from YRC for more years than you have credits and are not vested.
Your previous post about losing your pension when you are gone 2 years scared me enough to call the Hall. They're sending me a printout of my pension.
When I was laid off in 2008, I had a letter telling me that at age 62 I would be eligible for 2488 @ month. Then later I received another letter a year later saying I would be eligible for 2488 @ month at age 65.
Right before calling the Hall, a friend of mine called that they had reduced his already drawing pension be 250 @ month (He retired last Oct at age 57.) Anyway, the Hall tells me that I got out just ahead of the YRC fiasco (Laid off Yellow, called back in a letter from Roadway to report to YRC in March, 2009, and I resigned rather than report) and that I am still on course for 2488 at age 62, per the Hall. Which is fine; I have a great job now, great Health, and the SSI tells me to wait til I'm 66 for the best effect. (I'm 57 now, with 21 (per the Hall; 22 on the letter I have) paid in.....
Confusing Enough???????
