In ATKUnited’s post, the union noted that when the acquisition was made and Suratt came on board, employees “were assured that nothing would change.” The layoffs were announced just over six weeks later. “It’s disappointing that this new executive leadership, including the CEO, has made a decision to put profits over people,” Don Trementozzi, the president of CWA Local 1400, tells Eater. “This is nothing more than corporate greed and not caring about the passionate workers who have built this company and their profits. We are sad that it has come to this but we are going to do everything within our power as the union to get these employees the best exit packages possible.
