Area RIF Avoidance is from 2/9/09 - 5/12/09 with a RIF Effective date of 7/17/09. Many of us were accepted for District positions with subsequent submission to Area and HQ for final approval. During this approval process, District RIF Avoidance Process began and the jobs were frozen leaving some of us approved while others were denied. We are now told, even though we followed rules/regulation (timeline) provided, that we now have to wait until District Phase II posting to apply even though we still are held to the Area timeline. To further complicate the matter, with the District timeline now extended, we now are forced to request 30 non-pay status due to being thrown into Specific RIF period with strong possibility of termination before final approval can be acquired/accomplished. Question # 1. Why can't/didn't Area Timeline change to accomodate those of us placed in this "crisis" or allowance made for reconsideration of District positions which were already locally approved and in the pipeline for Area/HQ approval. #2. Why would the District RIF Avoidance Process even begin before the Area ended? To my knowledge the Headquarters Process was not likewise interfered with. Please address with decision-makers at HQ.

The phase 2 process and selection dates for phase two have been pushed back to July 14th through the 23rd. The WEA's domiciled in districts are seperated on July 17th, which is 3 days into the selection process. We want the separation date pushed back as was the application and selection dates. We would like the separation date to be closer to August so there is ample time to get placed in a postion and not loose workdays. Please address this issue with HQ. Those of us who are Area employees domiciled in district are being forgotten. I am an area WEA domiciled in district.
