Important Update for Local 638 Members at UPS:
Local 638 members at UPS will be experiencing unprecedented changes as the Company will be shutting down half of the building in Eagan, MN, in order to retrofit and apply various automation features. Because of the size and scope of the change in Eagan, 638 members in Minneapolis, Maple Grove, and Shakopee will also be affected. Members from Eagan will transition to these buildings per the language in Article 38 of the National Master Agreement. Change of Operations Communications Team (COCT) To better address questions, concerns, and ongoing issues that will arise from these changes, Local 638 has put together a Change of Operations Communications Team (COCT) made up of rank-and-file members in each affected building. Please approach COCT members or your Business Agent as soon as possible with questions and concerns related to seniority, vacation, bumping, and any other short and long-term effects of these changes as we will be meeting with the Company to address potential issues.
