Alliance@IBM - IBM Lenovo Sale

• IBM PC Division Employees Lenovo Sale

PC Division Sold - Although virtually unknown in the United States, Lenovo, China's largest PC maker and the world's fastest growing one, has bought the IBM PC Division for $1.75 billion.
The sale brings the end of an era in an industry that IBM helped invent.

What of the PC division employees?

The impact on employees, their families and communities is still to be determined.
Nearly 10,000 IBM employees will become Lenovo employees, doubling their workforce.
In RTP alone there are an estimated 1900 PC division employees.

The fight for a voice in the workplace continues.

The Alliance@IBM/CWA Local 1701 is deeply concerned about the impact that this sale will have on current IBM employees. We want to make it clear that we will not abandon our members or co-workers. We intend to keep organizing and representing employees as they move into Lenovo.
In fact, we will actively pursue the formation of a new Alliance chapter at Lenovo.

We encourage IBM PC division employees to contact us.
Let us not be victims in this sale, but active participants in this transformation. Let us all do our part to ensure that the employee's voices are heard, as employees of IBM become employees of Lenovo.
