E-mail Your Availability

There’s a new way to call-in your Availability for work!

E-mail it to call-in@ia15.org.

This is just a test to see how this works, so you will still need to call in and leave your availability on the voicemail line. It will still be for one week at a time. Just email your information for the week of work on the outgoing message. If this works out, we may make it a permanent option in the future.

Update on the Availability line.

Update on the Availability line.

The Availability Line will remain open until 10 am Sunday January 17th

for calling in your work for the week of January 25th to the 31st.

A problem occurred with the change over to the new phone system that deleted all the voicemail boxes attached to the old Availability number, which forced us to make a new Availability number (206) 470-3800 within the new system. 

Because of this messages left on the old line after 8pm on Wednesday the 13th until 1pm Thursday may have been lost.  To account for this the Availability line will remain open until 10 am Sunday January 17th to allow for anyone whose message may have been lost to call again with their Availability.

No one will be marked as a late call-in for that week if they still miss the Sunday deadline and call Dispatch with their Availability. 

Also the only number to reach dispatch is (206) 443-0740.  Some of you may have the old second line number that rang into Dispatch, that no-longer works.  Dispatch still has multiple lines in the office but only (206) 443-0740 will ring.

Important Dispatch Information

The Availability voicemail number has changed.

The new phone number is (206) 470-3800.

The old number will tell you to call the new number.

Today we changed over to a new phone system; parts of the old system were 20 years old.  We originally planned (and so did Qwest) to keep the old Availability phone number, but during the changeover we discovered that was not possible. 

There is a possibility that any messages left after 8pm on Wednesday the 13th through Thursday the 14th until 1pm may have been lost.  If you called during that time, please call the new number and leave your availability again.

All of the other local’s numbers are still the same.

The Office is still (206) 441-1515 and Dispatch is still (206) 443-0740. 

Thank you all for understanding while we make changes that will help the Local serve the membership and workers better.
