What canI or shouldI do about unpaid vacation days that disappeared from one paycheck to another?
About 3 months ago I was transferred from one store because of a closure to another. On my first check from the new store I noticed that my vacation pay was gone. I brought it to the attention of the managers yet several months have gone by and still nothing has been done about it. There are about 5 other co-workers in the same situation.

I would contact the human resources person for your company again on the telephone to discuss the situation about unpaid vacation dates that disappeared and follow up the call with a written letter.
You are entitled to this money. If you do not have a resolution to this situation in a reasonable amount of time, you and the other employees in a similar situation need to meet with the labor departmnet about the situation and possibly a labor attorney later on.
If you are entitled to those unpaid vacation days on your pay check, stick up for what is due you. It is important to have a good written record with your company for the money owed you for future formal claim.
Good luck.
