Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

Please be advised that we are considering consolidating Central Forwarding System (CFS) offices within the Western Area as follows:

• Spokane to Seattle
• Portland to Seattle
• Fargo to Minneapolis
• Sioux Falls to Minneapolis
• Billings to Denver
• Wichita to Kansas City
• Des Moines to Omaha
• Boise to Salt Lake City
• Las Vegas to Salt Lake City and Phoenix

This will impact the employees in the losing CFS units. Reassignments will be made pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 by each affected district office. We will provide you updates as information becomes available.

Sincerely,
