From President Smilowitz:
SHIFT SWAP UPDATE. See below message from MSG:
Workforce released a patch for shift swap issue. Verified swaps did go through. As such, the system should be up and running.
Venues People Practices will continue to monitor and work with Local 176 if any situation arises.

Message from B.A. Rudy Marinacci
Very important for our membership to understand, prior to 2012, Local 176 did our staffing in a way similar to how Local 177-Security used to. We gave up the staffing and at each contract negotiation I have been a part of, we have tried to get it back. Even though staffing has continued to be short, management has steadfastly refused to give it back to us. Since 2012, MSG has owned the staffing.
