Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

Update on Lodi

To: All Corporate and ATS East Employees Outside Lodi

As you may know, the National Labor Relations Board conducted an election at our facilities in Lodi, New Jersey on April 19, 2018 amongst the field service and replenishment technicians. There were 33 votes in favor of representation by the union (IBEW Local 827) compared to 23 votes for non-representation out of the population that voted.

We are disappointed by this outcome. We continue to believe that a direct relationship with management remains in the best interest of our employees and the Company.

ATS is still a new Company—in existence for just a year and while there are things we are still working on this is a time of tremendous opportunity and growth for our company. We have already achieved a lot:

• We’ve launched and are supporting AUSA’s fiber to the home initiative which offers increased learning and advancement opportunities.

• In Q-2 the fiber to the home install initiative will be commencing with new and additional opportunities to expand core competencies and to work with cutting edge technologies.

• We are supporting the Sprint project to increase the depth and reliability of Sprint’s network by adding Sprint antenna’s on AUSA’s network.

• We are part of the technological advancement of our entire industry working on the “Generation Gigaspeed” initiative with AUSA.

The Company is poised for growth and we have achieved all this without the involvement of an outside third-party like a union. We believe that a direct relationship with our employees promotes an environment of trust, respect and collaboration that is beneficial for our employees and for management. We will however, honor the decision of our Lodi field service and replenishment technicians and bargain in good faith with the union and continue to keep ATS moving forward.

As always, we will keep you informed of any developments.

Best Regards,
