I'm sure that HR and admin types would love to have more control over transfers but for now the process is covered under our existing contract. We are trying to work out a new agreement but it's kind of like amending the constitution. You know some changes that you would like to see but you are afraid of what the other side might try to stick in there, so you work with the old agreement and just keep adding memorandums of understanding.

The idea of transfers is that they are lateral moves, not promotions so the union fought to have them be as free from favoritism and/or abuse of power as possible. They are mainly awarded on the basis of having served time at a less desirable location, and then seniority, presuming that you have the matching certs. Even with that, principals have been known to set up bizarre combinations to bring in people they want and/or keep out people that they don't.
