AT&T has informed the CWA National Office that, after a surplus is declared and during the Job Offer Guarantee (JOG), they look at Term positions for possible job offers for employee’s that are at risk to be laid off and could not participate in job claiming; and if they are qualified JOG participants, they will convert that Term position to Regular Full Time if the candidate accepts the offer.
If the candidate does not accept the JOG offer, the position remains as a Term. The JOG candidate will have an opportunity if they decline the offered position to retreat to ATTOP options such as ECO.
