The 2nd quarter downsizing numbers have been announced and rolled out to the affected Premises Technicians in Local 9003.
For our local, there are 7 affected members; 5 out of 61 in the Beverly Hills Garage and 2 out of 41 in the Canoga Park Garage. There are no other garages that are impacted in Local 9003.
The company is offering all of the technicians in these garages the ability to volunteer to leave with severance pay.
If any technicians decide to take the offer and are not the least senior affected technicians in the garage, this will result in the “saving” of an affected least senior employee.
Also being offered is the opportunity to voluntarily relocate to he Bay Area with an incentive of a $2,500 bonus if you accept the transfer and an additional $2,500 after 6 months at the new location. If any of the non-affected employees decide to take this offer, this too, will “save” a least senior, affected employee.
We will keep you posted as this situation progresses.
