| Good Afternoon All,
This is to advise the District has reached an agreement allowing Vz. to bring technicians from outside the bargaining unit into MD and VA. These technicians will be performing work in both the FIOS and Copper technologies. These loans will be in our area through November 21st. During this time all overtime restrictions placed on our technicians as a result of their productivity will be lifted. I will advise you of the locations the loaned technicians will report as soon as the information is made available. CWA has advised Verizon these loans are only a temporary solution to the issue. Our members who left the payroll on an "imaginary surplus" need to be recalled if the work load is high enough to require forced and excessive overtime or loans into our area. In Unity, Gail Evans

Good Afternoon
All,
This is an update on the non-surplus group of volunteers for the
special enhanced offer. After meeting with the company on several
occasions over the last month Vz. has agreed to release all of the
non-surplus volunteers. They will be released on one of two dates. The
dates are August 8, 2010 and November 21, 2010. A letter will go to the
Potomac non-surplus volunteers who will be leaving the payroll on
August 8, 2010. The letters will be mailed beginning Friday July 23,
2010.
The second attachment lists all the Potomac non-surplus volunteers and
their respective off payroll dates.
In Unity,

Maryland. If you are interested in volunteering please contact the

The Bureau of
Labor Statistics recently announced the National Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The May
2009 CPI-W was 208.77 while the May 2010 CPI-W was 214.12. This
resulted in a difference of 2.56% which fell below the 3.75% in the
CPI-W as outlined in the 2008 MOU. Therefore, eligible associates in the
New England, New York and Mid-Atlantic areas covered by East Collective
Bargaining Agreements will not receive a cost of living adjustment
(COLA) in 2010. |
|
|
The General Wage
Increase (GWI) of 3.75% will be effective Aug. 1,
2010. |
