News reported a package 0f 4 weeks pay for each year up to 2 years pay. Is that to all TW employees? Seems like a lot of top management leaving and good old boys from telecom being brought in plus outsiders

Seems like several contracts are up and we could have some strike leverage .... our leaders lack aggressiveness
