FairPoint, Unions Reach Tentative AgreementFairPoint, unions reach tentative agreement on bankruptcy concessionsBy CLARKE CANFIELD Associated Press WriterPORTLAND, Maine February 2, 2010 FairPoint Communications and unions representing nearly 3,000 employees in northern New England have reached a tentative agreement on a contract as FairPoint prepares to submit its bankruptcy reorganization plan. FairPoint was seeking $30 million in concessions from workers represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Communications Workers of America as it works to restructure its debt load and reduce costs. The unions agreed last year on a five-year contract that was set to expire in August 2013. FAIRPOINT ON VERGEOF DEAL WITH UNIONSSubmitted by vic bala on February 9, 2010 - 9:12am.

FairPoint Communications Inc. has reached a tentative agreement with its labor unions, a deal that both sides say will help the troubled telecommunications company emerge from bankruptcy and improve its services. The agreement must still be approved by each union's membership, which could take a couple of weeks. But the deal could be a big step toward righting FairPoint's finances as it prepares to outline its restructuring plans before a bankruptcy court. "We all need to work together and come out of this bankruptcy as quickly as possible, for the benefit of the workers, management and the consumer," said Don Trementozzi, president of Communications Workers of America Local 1400, one of four unions that represent a total of roughly 3,000 FairPoint workers. "We think this agreement takes care of that."

FAIRPOINT BANKRUPTCY MAY BE ON THE HORIZONSubmitted by vic bala on October 15, 2009 - 8:12am.
Signs pointing to FairPoint bankruptcy
By ASHLEY SMITH, Staff Writer, Nashua Telegraph Published: Sunday, October 11, 2009 More than two years after critics first voiced concerns that tiny FairPoint lacked the resources to take over Verizon’s Northern New England land-line business, some of their predictions are proving true. Unable to make its massive debt payments, FairPoint will have to file for bankruptcy by month’s end unless it can strike a deal with creditors. The company is losing land-line customers – and thus, revenue – faster than anticipated. And the celebrated launch of a TV service to compete with cable – a move FairPoint said would bring in the extra income to compensate for the decline in land-line customers – has been put on hold.
