Job Swap - There is an ongoing reorganization of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Housing Multifamily Program Division which was negotiated and resulted in Supplement #135 (note section #38) to the National Collective Bargaining Agreement between HUD and AFGE Council of Locals #222. This Supplement included an Appendix 3 to the Agreement on the Specific subject of Job swaps or a Job Exchange Program. Prior to the Appendix a Pilot Program on job swaps/job exchnages was agreed to by the parties. This reorganization is being conducted in five (5) "waves" or is incrementally being completed over a phased time period.
