AT&T announced a lay off which will affect 187 of our brothers and sisters across the nation. The total amount of members affected in our Local 3250 is 14 and they are all located in Georgia. The Company is offering a VTP in selected surplused titles, which may relieve some of the impact of this forced lay off.
The following are the business units, GCA, title and surplus number announced by AT&T for this current layoff and VTP.
Business Unit – Customer Service
Reports Clerk – Alpharetta – GCA 324 – Surplus 5 – VTP 4
Customer Sales & Service (CSSS) – Atlanta – GCA323 - Surplus 3 – VTP 3
Business Unit – Corporate Affairs
Reports Clerk – Atlanta – GCA 323 – Surplus 1 – VTP 1
Reports Clerk – Alpharetta – GCA 324 – Surplus 1 – VTP 0
Business Unit – Network Operations
IDC Technical Specialist – Lithia Springs – GCA 323 – Surplus 1 – VTP – 0
Business Unit – Global Real-Estate
Reports Clerk – Atlanta – GCA 323 – Surplus 1 – VTP – 0
General Service Clerk – Atlanta – GCA 323 – Surplus 2 – VTP – 0
There are no other titles being surplused in Local 3250’s jurisdiction in Tennessee, Florida, North and South Carolina. It is unfortunate that AT&T has not accepted the Union’s proposal to make planned force adjustments by using the contractor – workforce and halting their outsourcing.
We will be supporting our affected brothers and sisters with financial counseling, the alliance and the AT&T Resource Center. We will keep you informed of any updates or changes we are informed of concerning this lay off declaration.
Remember, In unity there is strength.
This is Roy Hegenbart
President
CWA Local 3250 |
