Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

When are Mgmt Emergency Work Assignments (EWA) being announced?

Management here. I've been here for the last two strikes. For the last one, I recall getting my assignment fairly early in the year, and having to attend 8 days of on-site training at the Virginia center in the spring. They also told us not to make vacation plans around the potential strike time.

With a potential strike coming in August, why haven't assignments been released? Is anyone even working on that? Or is everyone assuming there will be will be a contract signed or negotiation extension?

By mid-April there's a 50/50 chance that you won't even be working here anymore....

You are the prime example of somebody that should've been laid off.

@a9 how do you write, embarrassing and uneducated, unless you are doing it intentionally which would be very deceitful and clever -- the union has taught well.

Sc--w the unions!!! Its pay back time to "F" the union.

Again read the post it’s over no strike it’s settled now be ready for the management riffing sad but true The contract will pass doesn’t mean it’s a good one but the unions know the deal see below
Let’s face it we all know that one the unions didn’t do much of anything to get what was gonna end up being the offer in the end.Last year they were all about fighting to win things like caps on retirement medical ,but in the end the unions knew the environment they are in political wise along with on the company level work wise technology wise .Lets also face the fact they are concerned about the younger members who never been thru a strike along with making them go on strike for benefits they don’t have .So let’s all stop patting backs and just admit it’s was needs based decision .Call it like it is tired of Ibew and cwa pounding their chest about how great it is along with the problem isn’t Verizon it’s the country health care system.Lets be real the company said no way never gonna happen with retirees healthcare or pensions for younger guys take it or leave it .So the unions took it .Im okay with that but please wish the unions specially the CWA locals would just stop pounding their chests they rolled over a decade or more ago .Thats how we got to this point.So any of us thinking of retirement in next few years might as well forget that now .Also I’m okay with that but to the the unions just stop with posts please it’s making me sick every email and Facebook post

The plan as of last year was to do the training closer to the time of the strike, vs early like past years.

@OP there should be no contract agreement, no contract extensions, because it is make or break time for Verizon.
