    Petition for Local 162 to Include UPS Workers in Swan Island Building Negotiations
    https://docs.google.com
    IRank and File Representation on Article 38 Change of Operations Committee: We, the undersigned members of Teamsters Local 162, formally request that the NMUPS Article 38 Change of Operations Committee for the Swan Island building shutdown and automation remodel include rank and file representation from each classification and shift affected by the changes that have already begun. We demand UPS allow no less than 2 members, at least one Part Time and one Full Time 22.3 Teamster, from each shift inside Swan Island to join the Change of Operations Committee. We also demand a minimum of 2 RPCD and Feeder Drivers each be allowed to join the Change of Operations Committee for negotiations of the Swan Island building remodel. We demand that UPS allow the members of the committee to freely share proposals with our members, so that we may make informed decisions on our collective career futures. We will not allow UPS to require Non-Disclosure Agreements or information blackouts of any kind. The decisions reached at this committee will have far-reaching impacts on hundreds of hard-working Teamsters and their families. We request Local 162 allow elections to be held for the minimum of 12 rank and file members of the various shifts and classifications affected by this change of operations. This process should be concluded in advance of the official formation of the Article 38 Change of Operations Committee, and the local shall make all efforts to organize our rank and file representation well ahead of the first official meeting between the Union and the Company. If Local 162 is unable to include direct rank and file representation on the Article 38 committee meeting with the UPS management counterpart, we request that the elected members form an advisory body which will deliberate over the proposals presented by UPS and bring counter-proposals for the affected members to vote upon. Additionally, meeting minutes from the Article 38 committee must be recorded and made available to all Local 162 UPS Teamsters promptly after each meeting. Nominations shall be open immediately upon ratification of this proposal at the regular general union meeting and be open for no more than two weeks hereafter. Nominations require the support of at least 5 members from the shift and classification they will be representing at Swan Island. If the minimum of 2 nominees cannot be found by this process, the local will confer with stewards from the respective shift and classification to identify members to be appointed to the committee. The election of rank and file committee members shall be run by the appropriate body within the IBT, with assistance from stewards in each affected shift and classification. Election results shall be announced in the general union meeting immediately following the meeting that ratifies this proposal. The body of rank and file member representation shall be empowered to survey members, hold regular meetings of affected Swan Island employees, and these meetings shall be open to all UPS employees within JC37�s jurisdiction.

                              For someone that is concerned about his facility you need to do a better job of explaining the numbers.

                                      night is less affected
                                      preload has no layoffs

                                          Because of turnover and transfers out of the building, which are happening almost daily now, it is very difficult to give exact numbers. My friend is doing the best he can. We are struggling to get information about each shift. I met with a friend on preload and they are not experiencing a sharp drop in volume. Night shift is not being hollowed out. Twilight shift is being transferred to Hillsboro - even though Local 162 refuses to admit it. UPS worked some of us this week but laid those with less than 5 years off for Thursday and likely Friday. Monday is expected to see a further drop in volume as more of the building shuts down. The "change of operations" is happening now. Ben Vedus should never have agreed to transfers to Hillsboro before understanding what the company's plan would be. However, the horse has left the barn.
