101 San Diego premises technicians are going to get surplus and need to be off of payroll by 5/23.

Think how many employees have DTV only because of the $10 a month deal. No sense in paying orders of magnitude more for the same sub-par content and stupid infomercials.

Any one know the numbers yet? It should of been leak right?

Wonder what they are offering... heard its raises and nothing else but 4 more years of last contract.

Out VP told us the SVP we are under committed to outsourcing 500 jobs to Mexico over the next year and we will hear of letter coming out for voluntary layoffs in about 2 weeks. Target is to have them off the books early July.

did you guys from the 3/29 layoff got your severance money yet, i know the documentation says up to 45 days, just wondering if i did something wrong or checked the wrong box on the MESA website.
