June 2009 Update

Things are a little slow for our AWP Brothers and Sisters.  It seems Verizon is sustaining the AWP workload up to now.  The company as a whole is suffering in all states that they are in.  They have lost a lot of work from First Energy that seems to be the catalyst.

The only thing I see on the horizon as a bright spot is that Verizon wants AWP to flag for crews up in North Jersey.  And if that is factual that could wind up being more work for our members but might even grow the bargaining unit.  Other than the lack of work everything else has been very quiet.
