DEX Local Knowledge

Dex One – Local Knowledge: of the Philippines

Dex One claims to be local but ships middle class jobs overseas: Dex One Directory Company plans to layoff over 200 high-tech workers and move their work to the Philippines while they boast of having Local Knowledge in their advertising campaigns.

Dex One takes advantage of US Bankruptcy Laws but abandons US workers in a time of need: Dex One recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections. The US Laws that allow them to stiff their creditors is good enough for them, but it seems when it comes to paying society back by providing high-tech jobs, there is no loyalty. The only loyalty to US workers appears to be to CEO Alfred Mockett’s multimillion dollar compensation package.

CWA members that work at Dex One sacrificed to help pull the company through bankruptcy: In the last round of contract negotiations, CWA members took major concessions in order to get through bankruptcy with the promise that employees would share in the profits when good times were back. Concessions include:  Wage cuts for new workers and a wage freeze for current workers  Frozen pensions  Elimination of retiree health insurance.  Higher healthcare premiums for current employees  Less time off  And a lot more

CWA members loyally vouched for their company on the Bankruptcy Creditors Committee and are paid back by having their jobs shipped overseas.

It is wrong for a corporation to make taxpayers bail them out through bankruptcy and then ship jobs overseas when the unemployment level is at its highest point in a century.

Will you help stop this injustice? Here is what you can do: 1. Contact Dex One CEO Alfred Mockett and demand that if Dex One is going to hide behind US bankruptcy laws, then it must keep its jobs in the United States.  Phone number: 919-297-1600  Email address: [email protected]  Mailing Address: Alfred Mockett, Dex One Corporation, 1001 Winstead Dr, Cary, NC 27513

2. Call your US Representatives and Senators and tell them they need to stop Dex One from shipping our jobs overseas - (202) 224-3121.
