Rumors

heard in the field today, that the company wants to extend our labor contract until 2011.. which might be OK if they would also NOT change the lump sum clause.. I want nothing to do with the corporate bond retirement calculations.. my planner advised that method would cost a retiree about $88,000 on $400,000 then fully implemented

PS: heard rumor that the company was going to make an early retirement offer around Oct. 15. the interest rate went down & the new lump sum in jan will go up. that's what i heard anyway. cannot confirm in any way. everyone says no. Donna Good

Rumor still out there about contract extension but "NO COMMENT" from CWA or AT&T... they are hiring PT employees with 18 month contracts to replace retirees or to fill openings

NOT A RUMOR??? AT&T is offering VSP to central office frame attendants... possibly before eliminating the title... if you are NOT a com tech you are OUT???? PAINFUL??
