Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Starting 4/15/22, union represented employees may request to transfer to another shift to a job within their job classification and Center (CBA Article 8, Section 20).
- The spring 2022 open period for filing a transfer request runs from April 15, 2022 – April 30, 2022. It will be posted in Between the Blades for the duration of the open period. The link will be posted on the LR Website on the 15th as well.
- If an employee has been on his/her shift for six months, he/she may request a transfer to another shift to a job within his/her job classification and Center.
- If such job is held by a less senior employee for at least six months, the transfer shall be made within 30 days of the request for such transfer.
- The Company is not required to transfer more than 10% of personnel in each job classification, in each Center (North side/South side), on any shift, in any calendar month.
- Employees must file a request via the Philadelphia Labor Relations website, (http://hr.web.boeing.com/index.aspx?com=64&id=1).
- Employees will receive a confirmation e-mail within 48 hours of their submittal.
- The electronic form must be submitted no later than April 30, 2022.
- If an employee submits more than one request, the final request will be used.
- Failing to withdraw a request will result in an employee being moved to the requested shift (based on seniority). To withdraw a request, employees must submit an email to GRP Ridley Park LR.
We received a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for this quarter in the amount of $0.29 which took effect April 1, 2022. The current maximum COLA amount for this unit is $2.13.
Lastly, we have applications available through our Union Hall or the region 9 website (region9.uaw.org) for the “UAW Region 9 Tom Fricano Scholarship Fund.” Deadline for applications is June 30, 2022. Please see one of your union representatives or log on to the website for further details.
