ASK THE QUESTION !!!

IF YOU ARE CALLED INTO A MEETING BY ANY COMPANY MANAGER OR CORPORATE SECURITY, BE SURE TO ASK......
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my Union Representative, Officer, or Steward be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer any questions.

The Unions were notified today that Avaya has been purchased by two
investment firms, Silver Lake and TPG. In discussions with Labor
Relations the company indicated that the contract and the represented employees will continue intact. Discussions with the Senior Leadership will take place in the very near future. We will keep the membership informed.
If this purchase is approved by the Shareholders, it means Avaya will
be a privately owned corporation and will not trade stock in the future.

As we have expressed to the company, we will evaluate this potential
sale and the impact it could or could not have on our members, and we
will take action if necessary accordingly. Our only interest is that our
members and retirees wages, pensions, benefits and jobs are protected.

We will keep everyone updated.

In Unity,

Bob Morrison
