We have received three samples letters from Verizon Labor Relations (attached) that will be mailed out to our members on Saturday, June 26, 2010.

The first version will be sent to the majority of our surplus members and the majority of those members that were held (over subscribed) under the chart we posted on 6/21/10.

The second version will impact the 45 members that were held (over subscribed).

The third version will be mailed to the non-surplus members. The date for the non-surplus members has yet to be determined.

Any questions please contact your Executive Board/ Business Agent.
