@cz You don’t know what you’re talking about! What are you smoking?! Senior union employees are the last to go in the event of a layoff. A surplus declared either results in an ip or an eip. A surplus is the first step taken before the company bound by contractual obligations can even think of laying off. Get your facts straight.

@gt you need to do techs as well. A contractor will do the work for a quarter of what our techs earn and they’ll actually show up to work.
Time to layoff the many customer service representatives who get paid $100k, there worthless. They have outsourced many of there calls already. Would be a great way to trim the fat. Ask them to RTO and you’ll have plenty of them ask for a layoff cause they are getting to comfortable WFH.
@cn about to 15 years ago they offered across the board eisp, with the same clauses they do now. The company has a number for each department and when it’s reached, they deny everyone else. The most senior people are excepted 1st.
They will offer a reverse layoff. Senior people first. Big layoff allowance that way. Win win. Some will get close to 2 years pay, maybe even spread it out over 2 years . Also if you are layed off this way you can immediately retire. It's been done before. Older employees want to leave and junior employees stay on and become the senior employees. No need for an eipp
those under VZB carve out getting sold down the river
Man that is one thing that would be so outrageous even to try to spread that rumor is nutzo .Its called an Eisp if they would offer an alternative enhanced one across the board they would have no employees left on union side which is why they don’t offer any they don’t even have that many union associates left come on do your homework before starting rumors
@OP please stop with the rumors that do not even remotely make any sense; as another posted there would HAVE to be an EISP, and even with that it would be more than one and there is language around it
Not likely !!! They will offer an EISP for union workers. They will then lay off supervisors at the same percentage as union workers that accepted the EISP. This will free up $$ for raises, lower retiree healthcare and a new retirement vehicle for union workers without a pension.
