IBT “Career Move” available for UAL Members 

In March of 2013 the Teamsters and UAL settled a dispute which resulted in a new benefit for IBT represented members. The new benefit is a one-time career move which provides for many or all costs associated with moving to be paid for by the company. An IBT-represented employee is eligible for a “Career Move” once in their career, provided they is not on probation or returning from inactive status (Furlough, Illness Leave, etc.).   

A Career Move can only be used for a job transfer from an active status at one location to an active status at another location. Your new residence must be within 50 miles of your new work location—services will not be provided to a residence outside this distance. 

To get the process started, UAL Form UPE-1682 needs to be filled out and signed by a supervisor at the station you are departing from. HR must also approve and the form is then sent to the career move department. Take care to fill out the entire form accurately to avoid added delays. 

More information on the process and benefits can be found by going to the company “Flying Together” website. First click on the “Employee Services” tab along the top of the home page then scroll down to the “Career” box. Next, click on the “Relocation” link. Once on that page find and pull up the “IBT Career Move Policy” tab. These pages will offer all the details about the move policy, the documents needed to get started, and instructions for requesting benefits.
