TIER 2 SAFETY COMMITTEE JOHN CASTELLA- CO CHAIR KEITH ALAIMO- EDGEWATER/SECRETARY JOHN DE'ALMEIDA- ROSSVILLE PERRY SERIDGE -FOREST AVE WILLIE FALLON- JOHNSON ST NEIL KELLEY- CO'S PAUL GILCHRIST- TARGEE ST ANY SAFETY ISSUES IN YOUR GARAGE NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE SAFETY COMPLIANCE PLAN NOT IN EFFECT IN CWA NY COMPANY'S NOTIFICATION TO MEMBERS IN ERROR        The National Union received at least two calls from Locals stating that the Company is telling members that their new Safety Compliance Plan was effective immediately and that the disciplinary aspects would be effective on March 15th.      The Union contacted Verizon Labor Relations objecting to their actions while we continue to meet with them over this matter.  The Company acknowledged that the notification to our members in New York was done in error and they are looking into sending out a correction on this.  They stated that the Company is going ahead with their plan in other areas that are not bargaining over this issue but that nothing is going into effect in New York because we are still in discussions.      In Local 1115 Central Office Technicians were instructed via a letter from a first line manager, to read the policy and indicate that they have done so on their time sheet.  Our members should not do this.  We will have further discussions with Labor over this matter and update you when we have more information CWA, along with NYC Public Advocate Bill DeBlasio, is collecting "Stories" from New Yorkers who have had bad experiences with EZ pass Call Center. Specifically, we are looking for bad customer service stories having to do with getting incorrect bills, being double billed for tolls, etc. If you have, or if you know of anyone who has had a bad customer experience, please click here to tell the story.
