This is to advise the District has reached an agreement allowing Vz. to bring technicians from outside the bargaining unit into MD and VA. These technicians will be performing work in both the FIOS and Copper technologies. These loans will be in our area through November 21st. During this time all overtime restrictions placed on our technicians as a result of their productivity will be lifted. I will advise you of the locations the loaned technicians will report as soon as the information is made available. CWA has advised Verizon these loans are only a temporary solution to the issue. Our members who left the payroll on an "imaginary surplus" need to be recalled if the work load is high enough to require forced and excessive overtime or loans into our area.

 

In Unity,
