AT&T announced a lay off which will affect 271 of our brothers and sisters across the nation. The total amount of members affected in our Local 3250 is 10 and they are located in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Company is offering a VTP in selected surplused titles, which may relieve some of the impact of this forced lay off. We have no members affected by this lay off announcement in South Carolina.
The following are the business unit, title, GCA and surplus number announced by AT&T for this current layoff and VTP in Local 3250’s jurisdiction. Business Unit – Business Enterprise Worldwide Customer Care
Senior Operations Clerk – GCA (323) Atlanta, GA – 1 Business Unit – Corporate Affairs
Reports Clerk – GCA (324) Alpharetta, GA– 3 Business Unit – Network & Computing Services

Network Technical Specialist – GCA (441) Ashville, NC– 1
Network Technical Specialist – GCA (485) Chattanooga, TN– 1 This completes the titles being surplused in Local 3250’s jurisdiction. It is unfortunate that AT&T has not accepted the Union’s proposal to make planned force adjustments by using the contractor – workforce and halting their outsourcing. We will be supporting our affected brothers and sisters with financial counseling, the alliance and the AT&T Resource Center. We will keep you informed of any updates or changes concerning this lay off declaration.
In unity, Roy Hegenbart
President
Local 3250 |
