Important INFORMATION regarding priority recall list special notice from SPEEA, IFPTE Local 2001

The Boeing Company’s requirements for laid-off SPEEA-represented employees who want to maintain a place on the Company’s Priority Recall List.  While Boeing still considers all laid-off employees available for recall, the Priority Recall List determines the order of recall.

Laid-off employees must request in writing that they be placed on the Priority Recall List.  The initial request must be made within 45 days of layoff.  In addition, the request must be renewed, in writing, before the start of each six-month period.  Laid-off employees who do not provide written notification by the deadlines will be permanently dropped from the Priority Recall List.

Laid-off employees can remain on the recall list for up to three (3) years following the date of their layoff.  SPEEA recommends using Certified Mail to send your letters to Boeing.  This creates a way to trace your notification in the event a question arises.  [Please refer to the SPEEA website www.speea.org for the downloadable form letter – search for recall changes.]

It is important to continue the notifications within the required timeframes.  Once an individual is removed from the list, whether by choice or by missing a notification date, they cannot regain a place on the Priority Recall List.  Dropping on and off the list is not allowed.

Employees who chose to receive layoff benefits as a lump sum (as opposed to income continuation) waive first consideration recall rights and are not eligible for placement on the Priority Recall List.

The enclosed form letter allows you to supply proper notification of your desire to remain on the Priority Recall List to The Boeing Company.  Complete all information, making sure to mark the proper six-month period.  If you draft your own letter, be sure to include your name, social security number (or BEMS ID), mailing address and telephone number.
