| A message from Jim Davis in Labor Relations to Gail Evans of D2-13 in Bowie.
Gail,
Chris Childs intends to hire term
employees to perform work on projects associated with the completion of
FTTP builds for some remaining LFA commitments, the Maryland Broadband
Project, and certain state highway/bridge projects; and to perform other
work as necessary to free up RFT employees to perform work on the
projects. It is estimated that work on the projects will last 30
months. It is likely that 46 OPTs and 44 CSTs will be hired to report
to work locations in DC and MD. It is likely that 72 OPTs and 63 CSTs
will be hired to report to work locations in VA. The first term
employees hired are tentatively expected to report to work on March 26.
Please call if you have questions.
Gail, I
did not include fiber to the cell in my notice below. I should have.
The term employees will also work to help complete the fiber to the cell
project in Potomac. Thanks. Jim | |

| Verizon Called "Poison" as Flashmob Strikes Union Station Store: The unexpected sounds of brass instruments echoed through Union Station last night as commuters turned to watch an unusual gathering in front of the Verizon store. Over a dozen
young people donned protective medical face masks and -- accompanied by
a live band -- broke into a fully-choreographed dance to Bell Biv
Davoe’s “Poison,” adapting the lyrics to "Verizon’s poison” as they
critiqued Verizon’s continued unwillingness to negotiate fairly with its
workers. Explained Sam Nelson, a George Washington student working with
DC Student Labor Action Project, "I'm tired of corporations using their
power against the workers of this country… It should be the
responsibility of the consumer to stand side by side with the worker
when the worker's livelihood is threatened.” - report by Julia Kann; photo by Beth Geglia | |

| Last
week the company announced that approx. 280 VCSI technicians were being
laid-off in the New Jersey area. They retained about 20 technicians.
There has been no further information as to the return of these
technicians or their final seperation. This information does not
involve any of the Maryland or Virginia technicians to this point. As
information is obtained we will pass it along. | |

were to unfold in the future. | |

for Thought; |

"The
greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark."
|
|
|
"Some men have
thousands of
reasons why they cannot do what they need to do, when all they
need is one reason
why they can."
|
|
|
"There are two primary choices
in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the
responsibility to help
change them."

"Losing
is a learning
experience. It teaches you humility. It teaches you to work harder.
It's also a
powerful motivator."
