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
Administrative Director
