oddly enough a couple weeks ago my supervisor ask me if I was offered would i accept a package. So I do think they were taking a poll. Honestly with 30 years I don't know. If they would take more of a financial responsibility for the retiree benefits , I would take the package.
@gg did we hire Beavis and Bu-----d?
I got the CWA package. 8”
@c8 There are multiple entries within Verizon. So yes they can offer a package. East, west, vzw, and management. Believe it or not there is more than just your contact with the union workers. Mine expires after yours.
They can’t offer a package while hiring.
They can’t do a layoff while still hiring. They can certainly offer a voluntary package

Can’t do a package when they are still hiring.
