District 6 Tentative Agreement

A Contract Explanation Meeting was held on 10-22-09 regarding the TA. All topics in the TA were covered. There was some confusion regarding the Leverage Title. Clarification is—IF & WHEN the Leverage Title comes to the Lubbock BUSINESS Call Center Service Representatives will have the option to remain as a Service Representative or change to the Leverage Title. At this time, the Leverage Title is only an option for RESIDENCE.

Also, we have additional dates & times for those of you who were not able to attend the explanation meeting to vote. The available dates are: Tuesday, 10-27-09, from 8:00am to 7:30pm & Tuesday, 11-03-09, during our regular monthly membership meeting at 6:30pm. The voting will take place at the Union Hall located at 405 50th St.
