Pacific Area Cancels Most Involuntary Reassignments Sparing 740 plus workers

SAN DIEGO CA– Area postal officials have issued the Region written and verbal notice canceling most of the “excessing” impacts scheduled for implementation in California in April and July of this year.

 Still targeted at press time are the Oakland installation, Redding P&DC and North Bay PDC. Oakland is a 24 hr. Wall impact while Redding and North Bay are Area Mail Processing (AMP) impacts. Spared for now is Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento, San Diego, Industry, Santa Ana, Moreno Valley, San Jose and San Francisco. However Hawaii impacts are still on the radar.

 Speculation swirled as to what caused management to change direction and cancel the impacts. “For now, the important thing is that hundreds of postal workers will not have their home and work life disrupted any more than the tour realignments already have,” said Regional Coordinator Omar Gonzalez cautiously. Many areas of the country face major disruptions by summer.

 WESTERN AREA STILL ON TRACK

 “There is as of yet, no “moratorium” on the closure and consolidation of plants nationwide,” he warned. The Western Area is proceeding with their planned impacts in Bend, Pendleton and Eugene Oregon. Also on target is Pocatello Idaho and offices all over the western states including Colorado, Montana, Arizona, Washington and New Mexico. What may be slowing them down is the 50 mile radius restriction.“ But slow does not equate to stopped,” quipped Gonzalez. “Improper Article 7 details should be grieved”, he added.
