Verizon lays off former Alltel workers  11/19/09 - 2:36pm

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Verizon Wireless laid off more former Alltel Corp. headquarters workers Thursday, saying the jobs were redundant after its acquisition of the Arkansas-based wireless provider.

Verizon Wireless declined to say how many workers were being let go in the latest layoffs, but said they were in areas such as finance, marketing and legal.

"Those are strictly redundancies we've identified due to the transition," Verizon Wireless spokeswoman Lucie Pathmann said. "As we said all along ... there were going to be redundancies."
