EISP Update
Good
Afternoon All,
I am writing to provide a brief update from my meeting today with LaborRelations regarding the EISP/Article 35. As you already know there was an over subscription for the EISP offering in the surplus areas in the Potomac Region. However, the company did not reach the 12,000 minimum volunteers from the former Bell Atlantic footprint. The decision as to whether a layoff will occur in Potomac has not been decided. Should a layoff occur the off payroll date would be August 21, 2010 but could be later. The company indicated today it will exercise its option under the MOA and have a second off payroll date in addition to July 3rd. The second date has yet to be determined. The company also indicated it has not been determined as to whether all volunteers for the EISP will be accepted. It is the company's intent to notify all accepted volunteers by Monday, June 28th. Discussions with the company will continue tomorrow. I will update you as more information becomes available.
In Unity,
Gail Evans
