For people who were rebadged to Infosys - this might be a useful article. Verizon is not the only company to try and get out of paying benefits/severance like this, and there are some options for dealing with it legally.

“if you’re not union, then you are against us!”
Funny how successful the executives are at putting union and mgmt against each other so they can continue to take in their fortunes.
I’ll be retired by then...and won’t be rebadged. Haha.
We'll see if you're still laughing in 2023. Ever wonder why the company settled the contract a year early? FIRST.AND.LAST.TIME.EVER. And you guys think there's a big EISP coming. lol
Move them to India. No more hamburgers for you. Come back one year.
Exactly....management is the enemy....and we don’t need your stinking badges.
Management is not union. IT is management. Parts of IT were rebadged. Can you connect the dots now?
Union doesn’t get rebadged....if you’re not union, then you are against us!
Seems to me this would only be illegal if they withheld your pension AFTER you were pension eligible and were rebadged. If you hadn't reached pension eligible age yet, then it would be no different than just laying you off. Those who are pension eligible and were rebadged, still get their pension, jut like those who are pension eligible and declined rebadging still get theirs. They just don't get severance. They get a signing bonus and a job for a couple of years instead.
It’s me...El Guapo.
who is the mo--n that thinks only wireless people were rebadged??
@Y8jEsx6-vfd funny wireline people were rebadged too. What a joker
Badges....we don’t need no stinking badges.....go to the wireless site.
