Building closures...

[Thebrownblob]

That might be part of the plan to push people do retirement

Very true, not only to mention a lot of smaller locals losing members, and that hurts them quite a bit.

Lots of lost revenue for sure

Less members means less ability for smaller locals to higher business agents. Members get less representation.

They might have to merge some of the locals

Local 705/710 are not central

Ok...my post was not referring to any buildings in that area.

Closure date is set for May 10. We are now well within 45 days

I seen a video of a sorter getting laid off due to a robot, In the video it shows what he says is magshift dot system or something trying to post video. What is this? add on to a building for preload? its in the first few minutes

From what I see, that hillbilly sorter doesn’t understand the building is closed for construction and there is a change of operations going on. When the work comes back, the hub sorts come back and their will be more work.

We haven’t had a sort aisle since 2018 when they remodeled our building and automated much of it. They did ours a little different and closed half of the building so no one was laid off, but no one lost their job those former sorters did something else.

Super inconvenient for your building close for remodeling and retrofitting but it’s a lot better than a permanent closure.

I'm willing to bet we see alot of questions in regards to building closures over the next few months...

I'll start - Buildings routes are being dispersed to three different centers. Bid route is being sent to center that driver doesn't want to follow their work to. 26 year driver in this specific example.
What are their options? The vagueness in the contract reads like the CO could tell him to pound sand if he elects to not follow work.

Central region.

In my building, anytime routes were moved to another building, if the bid driver didn’t want to follow their route the unassigned drivers had the option to follow them. And some did.

So did they essentially rebid it before the building officially closed?

My entire building is one of those "add on" buildings.

It was way before my time, but, from what I’ve heard, that is essentially what they did. I wouldn’t doubt that it was all done verbally.

I could see them going that way to save on cost- having a huge building to heat, clean, maintenance etc instead of those just to back up to and cars sit outside. I wasn't sure if it was just temp or permanent

his job of sorting isn't coming back thanks to automation, Kinda like the spa labels they have machines that put them on now. If enough seniority to bump he will be back

Never said he would come back as a sorter. There will be other jobs.

They don’t have to follow their work, but they would become an unassigned cover driver in the building. They chose to go to here. I believe most will follow their work. Unless of course they’re close to retirement, which might push them over the edge.

Especially if new building is a different local where you’d have to work there an additional 5 or 10 years to meet the minimum for retirement.
