Us Spokesman Says Int Res Up In The Air

Tempe is a fascinating town. Ever see an undocumented worker and a meth addict get in a fist-fight on a street corner at 4am in a nice neighborhood?

I've heard that meth and other exotic illicit drugs are more prevalent in the suburbs and small towns than in inner cities. Of course, that's just one of those NPR-before-you're-really-awake-stats-you-hear-and-then-spout-without context-later.
 
Reservations employees who are active, or on LOA as of the effective date of this Agreement, not electing EO will be
afforded “No furlough to the street Protection,†except in force majeure circumstances, until the day prior to the
amendable date of this Agreement at which time the “No furlough to the street Protection†will be eliminated, except as
provided for in the CBA.
• For the duration of reservations outsourcing, should the Company decide to consolidate the two (2) existing reservations
centers into a single center, such consolidation will be in either PIT or INT.
- Should consolidation occur, employees in the closing facility will be offered normal furlough rights except that
every employee electing to relocate to the remaining facility will be guaranteed a position in the remaining
reservations center.
- Employees not electing to relocate will be entitled to the normal furlough benefits with the addition of outplacement
assistance. Work of employees not electing to relocate may be outsourced.
- Employees electing to relocate will be offered a one time only lump sum of $500.00 to assist with relocation costs.
- The company will notify the union at least 60 days prior to the date that any displacement packages are to be
distributed to affected employees.
• Should consolidation of the reservations centers occur during the outsourcing period described above, no sooner than 12
months prior to the amendable date the company may open a reservation center(s) as determined by the company.
• Displacement of reservations representatives from the closing facility as described above will not result in a reduction in
force of the reservations representatives at the consolidated location.
• The Company may outsource DMSC and BCC work for a period beginning the effective date of this Agreement and
ending 60 days prior to the amendable date of this Agreement. DMSC and BCC employees affected by the outsourcing
of their work or transfer of their work to a reservations center will be offered a position as a reservations representative at
the closest US Airways Reservations Center or EO as described herein. Any DMSC and/or BCC work not outsourced will
continue to be accomplished by CWA represented employees. The Company at its sole discretion may have this work
performed by DMSC, BCC and/or Reservations Agent classifications.
• The Company and the Union agree to monitor employment levels and attrition within the RSR Classifications to ensure
that the placement of DMSC and BCC employees in the classification will not result in any furlough or displacement of
an active or LOA RSR employee.
• If the company exercises any of the outsourcing options above, it will inform the union of the company(s) performing the
outsourced work and the locations. Certain additional information relevant to outsourcing will be provided upon request
by the union provided the Union agrees to be bound to a confidentiality Agreement (if the information is confidential in nature).
 
• Should consolidation of the reservations centers occur during the outsourcing period described above, no sooner than 12
months prior to the amendable date the company may open a reservation center(s) as determined by the company.

And when is the amendable date?
