Xerox to cut Webster Trucking Jobs
By Matthew Daneman
Xerox Corp. plans to eliminate close to three dozen unionized trucking and loading dock jobs at its Webster campus in coming weeks.

Connecticut-based printing and business services giant Xerox this week filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act warning with the state Labor Department indicating it planned to eliminate 35 trucking and dock operations positions.

The layoffs are to be done by the end of July. According to Xerox, the jobs are represented by Local 14A of the Rochester Regional Joint Board.

According to Xerox, it usually uses outside providers of corporate trucking services at its other locations worldwide, while the Webster work was handled by Xerox-employed workers. The company said that it notified those workers this week it would outsource those trucking operations to an outside provider.

Due to retirements and seniority bumping, the actual number of people laid off might be lower, Xerox said Friday.

It was similar outsourcing of work that was behind Xerox last year notifying the state Labor Department that it was planning to cut more than 120 positions in Webster. Those cuts had to do with farming out facilities maintenance operations to commercial real estate services JLL. The job cuts were completed in December.
