Draft Decision Allows Layoffs

01/15/2010 - 10:08pm

The DPUC issued its long-awaited draft decision today. In contravention of its rate case admonition, it allows the Iberdrola-owned company to "throw its employees under the bus" in order to increase profits. There is, however, a price to be paid for this dispensation. The company will have to comply with thirty (30) orders, many of which require monthly reporting.

CNG Admonished for Arrogance by DPUC Commissioners

At the June 25, 2009, Oral Arguement of the DPUC Draft Decision on the CNG Rate Increase Request, Chairman Donald W. Downes excoriated CNG management for threatening to reduce the workforce if their rate increase request was not granted. CNG's attorney responded. Commissioner Anthony J. Palermino further warned the Company that it has the power to not only reinstate any laid off employees but may actually add to their numbers if it feels the safety and reliability of service to ratepayers is threatened.
