Avaya: 2009 Avaya Award 12/23/09
To: All Avaya Local Presidents
We were notified by a Local representative that Avaya was rolling out a Sales Referral Program. The Company has indicated that they bargained
this: they did not. Avaya has also indicated we are in agreement with this Sales Referral program: we are not.
We have spoken with the Company and we explained that this was stopped during bargaining for a reason: we made referrals and the Company sent those to Business Partners. CWA is not telling you don?t do this but when all that work goes to Business Partners, why would anyone do a Sales Referral? We?re cutting our own throats.
We are filing a bad faith bargaining and a failure to bargain Board Charge against the Company. We will keep you posted as we make progress.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Avaya: Announcement Regarding Nortel's Enterprise Solutions Business
July 20, 2009
To: All Avaya Local Presidents
We have spoken with Avaya regarding their announcement today about Nortel's Enterprise Solutions Business. There is not very much information they can share at this time. The transaction is subject to a bidding process, and the bid process must be approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. It will be months, in the Company's judgment, before they even know who won the bid.
Avaya has committed to CWA that they will keep us informed as progress is made. As we receive information, we will share that with our Avaya Locals.
In Unity,
Lois J. Grimes-Patow
