Christmas Holiday Season

TO:  All Telecommunications and Technologies Locals

FROM:  Jimmy Gurganus, Vice President; Ralph Maly, Jr., Vice President

We'd like to take a moment to wish all the officers, locals, and members a very happy, safe holiday season and a bright new year!

The Telecommunications and Technologies Office will be staffed by clerical and staff this week through noon on Thursday December 23, 2010.  Next week the office will be staffed by Staff only from December 27-30.

Locals with AT&T, Avaya, and Alcatel-Lucent members:  If you have any appeals to the Third Step of the grievance procedure that need to be done this week or next, you must fax them to our office by 11:00 a.m. EST on December 23, 2010, so that we will have time to prepare them and fax them to the Company before noon.  After that time, and until January 3, 2011 when the office reopens fully, no cases will be appealed as clerical help will not be available. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
