Modified Work-Week Update
APWU Web News Article #38-05, Aug. 25, 2005
The APWU’s five regional coordinators are asking local presidents who are interested in developing modified work-week programs to complete one of the forms below and return it to their respective coordinator no later than Sept. 30, 2005. An Aug. 25 letter to local presidents also includes the appropriate form for each local.
| Central Region Form | (Sharyn Stone) |
| Eastern Region Form | (Jim Burke) |
| Northeast Region Form | (Liz Powell) |
| Southern Region Form | (Frankie Sanders) |
| Western Region Form | (Omar Gonzalez) |
The contract extension agreement, ratified Aug. 5, provides for the establishment of a minimum of 18 pilot sites during the term of the extension. Modified work-week programs allow employees to select work schedules of four 10-hour days.
The regional coordinators will be working with management to formulate rules for implementation of the program. The coordinators will use the completed forms to provide USPS management with a list of potential sites.
After the first six months of operation, the union and management will review the pilot programs. However, they will continue for at least six more months unless both parties agree to terminate them.
