Members,
Next week on Monday the 15th the company will be distributing an IRREVOCABLE Voluntary Severance Premium Offer sheet to all core employees, within 35-miles of the exchanges identified for reduction. Each Area manager should hold a meeting with their respective teams to explain the offer. The meeting will cover the number of employees, titles, and the locations the company has identified for reduction.
On Tuesday, the 16th the company will distribute a Voluntary Preference form to employees in the exchanges identified for reduction. There will be another call with the area manager to explain your options should you choose not to take the separation offer.
On Wednesday We will host a zoom meeting @7:30pm as well as open the hall to a limited capacity to help answer any additional questions that might arise. Jonathan Beitler from Networth will be attending the meeting to help answer any financial questions. In preparations for all the usual questions that come up during surplus conditions we have updated the seniority list and the 35-mile list on our website. I have requested practice guides for the tkt2 test from partnership, once they come in, we will post on the website.
I have requested an updated seniority list from the district for the wiretechs, I expect to have it by next week. Once I receive the list, I will update the website to have the wiretech seniority list as well. The wire tech voluntary reduction will be announced after July 1st as we receive further information, we will schedule another meeting to answer any concerns our members might have.
In unity.
