Cox Communications Inc. had been able to locate only about 60% of its 1,000
New Orleans employees as of late Thursday, according to the company.
The operator has set up a toll-free number to allow workers to contact the
cable company to identify their locations and to provide future work
information, but disseminating the information in the Crescent City is hard
with no working phones, power or local broadcast medium to aid distribution
of the information.
Cox president and CEO Jim Robbins said the top priority of the company is
locating the remaining employees, followed by the swift restoration of
vital services to consumers.
The company will continue to pay workers and hope to put available
employees back on the job shortly in some capacity. Cox is committed to
rebuilding the system in the city back into a state-of-the-art facility "as
quickly as humanly possible," added Pat Esser, Cox COO.
Cox's toll-free employee check-in number is (800) 637-3545, option 7.
