Impact Statements

Article 12 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement requires the USPS to prepare Impact Statements when operational changes are expected to lead to the involuntary reassignment of APWU-represented employees.

These reports must notify the union of the anticipated impact; the number of employees affected by craft; the locations to which employees will be reassigned; and, in the case of a new installation, the anticipated complement by tour and craft. Article 12 requires management to periodically update APWU regional coordinators of any changes to the information provided.

APWU regional coordinators provide copies of Impact Statements to affected locals seeking review and input, and rely on the feedback they receive to challenge improper and unjustified excessing and reassignments.

City and state of the installations impacted;
Event that triggered the impact;
Date of the USPS notification to the union;
Radius (in miles) of the impact area surrounding the affected installation;
Number of employees excessed, and whether they are Full-Time Regular (FTR); Part-Time Regular (PTR); Part-Time Flexible (PTF) workers;
Grade levels and crafts of the workers subject to excessing;
Other states that fall within the mileage radius; and
Withdrawal date (the date the union receives notification from the Postal Service that the excessing is withdrawn or cancelled).
