District 6 Working Without A Contract

Yesterday, CWA Bargaining Committee had heated exchanges with AT&T regarding the company’s demands to modify or regress on many issues. The company is not willing to move on these issues unless CWA gives up more. Our Bargaining Committee states it makes little sense to give up something we already “had” to get something we currently have. CWA wants the company to move the retrogression off the table on many items which would leave the larger issues to be dealt with. See Report #128. As always, please continue to support our Bargaining Committee.

Our bargaining committee continues trying to reduce the number of bargaining items that are still on the table. Major issues that they are still working on are: Employment Security Commitment, Success Sharing Plan, and no longer using volunteers first for overtime assignments. AT&T continues to refuse to renew the existing Successorship Clause, EO/ERB MOA or make any improvements in Appendix I.

Other items that are still unresolved are: PREM TECHS, Leveraged Titles, Pensions, Service Representative Task Force Agreement, Health Care

CWA and AT&T Bargaining parties continue to meet informally regarding discussions on a new collective bargaining agreement. Many major issues are still unresolved. Up-dated strike schedules were placed on union boards earlier this week. The schedules are tentative and subject to change. We are ready to strike if the need arises.
