Our union's position is clear: while we are in status quo, these layoffs are illegal.

Based on the leaks and rumors, it is possible that the announcement is going to be on Monday, July 6th. While we don't anticipate BGS itself being affected it is always good to be prepared. Before Monday, some steps you may consider taking: -Check that the contact information the company has on file (such as ADP Workforce) is up to date. -Download any documents related to your employment...]]></description><link>https://www.onebgs.org/post/in-preparation-microsoft-layoffs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a46d1b9316fbd62aff7f911</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 21:02:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ike Ton</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Update from (6/23) bargaining session]]></title><link>https://www.onebgs.org/post/update-from-6-23-bargaining-session</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a45f2a85af2dd52aa984aee</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 05:10:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/20a09d_40853f3cdeee4858a8bd7aaa7d555297/480p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Ike Ton</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How layoffs work during status quo]]></title><description><![CDATA[We wanted to give a quick explanation on how layoffs work during status quo.
