Senator Chuck Schumer says he’s received assurances by the CEO of Windstream that no jobs at their Rochester operations will be impacted by the company’s recent Chapter 11 filing.
The New York Democrat says he spoke with Windstream leader Tony Thomas who told the senator that none of the 700 or so jobs in Rochester would be affected by the bankruptcy process.
Schumer says Windstream also told him that Windstream’s customers in the Rochester area will not be affected by the Chapter 11 filing. That is something that a Windstream spokesman also told WXXI News last week.
Windstream filed for Chapter 11 after it lost a court battle regarding the spinoff of some of the company’s assets.
The company said last week that it was confident that after the reorganization is complete, it will be even better positioned to invest in its business.
