Verizon New York Inc., Empire City Subway Company (Ltd.), Verizon Corporate Services Corp., and Verizon Services Corp., are declaring a surplus condition in 20 titles within Force Adjustment Areas (FAAs) 1,2 and 3. To alleviate the surplus condition the Company will invoke the Force Adjustment Plan of the collective bargaining agreement. This surplus condition has been determined by the Company to be due to a process change. The provisions of the respective FAP Articles 8(b) and 10 will not apply in this case. 

If the surplus condition requires the use of the Enhanced Income Protection Plan (EIPP) under step 3 of the FAP Article, EIPP offers will be tendered to those employees in the surplus titles and FAAs involved by March 13, 2011. An employee’s election to leave the service of the company and receive EIPP payments must be in writing and transmitted to the Company within 15 days for the offer, in this case March 27, 2011. The off-payroll date for employees who accept the offer will be April 10, 2011.
