AT&T Declares Surplus of Eight CST's

AT&T Labor Relations Directors, John Andrasek and Joe Macken met with the union today to inform us that a surplus would be declared  in the F08 Pool (CST, NTEL) effective tomorrow June 16.    The company anticipates that there will not be enough jobs available to offer to surplused employees and intends to follow the lay off path.   As was bargained in our 2012 Labor agreement the company agrees to follow the GJO language. The offer is available until noon July 1, 2015 and members who elect to take the EVSP  offer will be off the payroll on the date determined by the company but no later than Monday, August 3, 2015.   The company will implement the provisions of Article VII in order to relieve the surplus, and this process will be concluded by August 3.  The Union will attend meetings with surplused employees tomorrow June 16.
