What's UPS with Swan Island
The latest edition of '“What’s UPS” was sent out earlier this week and obviously, the topic of the Swan Island closure was front and center.
The TL/DR version?
1) It’s official
Company expects the closure/remodel to begin by July 2025 and wrap up at the end of September 2026 (that’s an estimated 14 month closure)
Our Union is gathering all relivant data (employee head count, job types etc) and demanded the company present operating plans for when Swan Island re-opens
Movement of volume and employees will begin prior to complete shutdown (some part time employees have already begun moving out of building).
Readily available information is still limited at the time of printing - hopefully we will learn more this Sunday at our monthly Union meeting (10:00AM, February 2nd).
Our Union reps will schedule followup meetings as substantive information forms.
