EISP Update

Afternoon,
This is to update locals on the EISP/Surplus discussions.The surplus and oversubscribed volunteers will be notified they are accepted or rejected and if accepted will also be advised of their date off the payroll by letters going out in the mail by Monday. The off payroll dates are July 4th and November 21st. Some locals have reported field management has started to verbally advise some members of their status. The company has not agreed to verbally communicate to all members.
I should receive a list containing the surplus and over subscribed volunteers at some point today. The company alleges they have not finalized some of the over subscribed lines of business. I will forward the data as soon as possible.
Letters will be sent to our members over the weekend. The first will be sent to the non-surplus employees informing them that their application was received, but a decision about acceptance has not yet been reached and is pending discussions between the Company and the union. The second will be sent to surplus employees who have been accepted and will indicate their off payroll date.
Verizon has yet to confirm that there will be no layoff of post 2003 members. I will update locals as information becomes available.

EISP Update

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.
