Just got this e-mail......
The CWA and the IBEW have communicated that a strike date will be announced in the next few days.
The best thing you can do is be prepared for whatever may come our way.
This means we should take steps now to ensure that we are up to date with refresher training and have been in contact with our EWA supervisors. Please do not wait for your EWA supervisor to contact you – take the initiative and reach out to them.
The Bargaining Hotline will also be updated as needed to keep employees informed. As a reminder, the number is 800.274.9132.
If you have a field assignment, you should also ensure that your tablets are ready to go and, if appropriate, that your Go Bags and Tackle Boxes are in order. (Go Bags were distributed to only EWAs in the northeast. If you do not have a Go Bag and feel you should, ask your EWA supervisor.)
Lastly, I ask that you maintain your focus on both our customers and employees.
Our customers rely on us for many things and we cannot let them down.
