Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Clarke organization looking to hire around 80 in the field. Whats the end game here? We couldn't sell the wireline, and now we need help? I know what I would tell the company if I was union leadership.

Cwa contract states associates cannot be forced more than 8 or 16 above the 40 depending on location. How does the company get away with forcing them 12 hours+ a day, six days a week. Eventually some of these guys are going to go to a labor attorney. Then they'll have a case against the company for violating "quality of life laws" and their union for "failure to represent." Now I see verizon labor is refusing to acknowledge written medical restrictions from these guys. There is no way I want to be part of that fiasco. This is going from bad to worse here quick. I am not going to be sued for this place, no way! Verizon is acting in bad faith and it looks easy to prove from where I sit. Verizon wants LM's to do the dirty work. What do they expect me to say when an attorney deposes me? Code of Conduct anyone?

I wish this would come to a head already here. Back to my glass of scotch.

Good report 1yq on the meeting you attended. Thank You.

parttime is in the cwa contract

The lunacy here has no end. We were told at today's meeting that PA,DE,MD,VA will be hiring part time techs in the fiber areas. Yes, the same areas that we just laid off technicians 6 months ago, sold vehicles,closed work centers, and RIF'd LMs. Additionally, the existing LM's will be "reorganized" at that time. Very unspecific on reorganization. No time line set, just "soon." The information being cascaded down is fragmented at best and most definitely intentional. I just wonder how verizon is going to get away with hiring people "part time" and then force them 80 hours a week. I'm glad I work for a leader in the industry.

I think -dvc is waiting for an intelligent reply lol.

dvc! Must be missing something. You say I'm waiting. For what? Thx.

Thank You @ecy... I could not have said it better

There ya go dvc. Detailed explanation to your fellow, worried, colleagues. Your report book will show: "needs to try harder."

There's no meetings just the same constant verbal horse $hit that's churned out by little people who desperately want attention.

SO you will know what the meeting is about then if I am more specific...?

Super.

Wireline. Northeast. Fiber and non fiber areas. Mass consumer. Could involve enterprise as they are being cross trained over the last month. Mandatory attendance for consumer 1st and 2nd levels. Directors allowed to tele-port call into meeting.

I'm waiting.

Shuusshhhh! Try to be more vague and leave people completely bewildered as to what the phuck you are talking about? EXPLAIN WHERE the meetings are taking place and the groups/organizationS that are attending the meetings? Drs got you on moron meds, hasn't he?
