2015 CWA ATT SE Bargaining Report #17

Your bargaining team met in sub-committee today.  We also got the opportunity to visit with the Atlanta Learning Center and be briefed on the satellite installation process.

There are a plethora of changes in the types of duties, equipment and tools used in satellite communications.  We actively asked questions concerning safety, technology practices and time allocation.  We learned satellite installation and repairs will make the Wire Techs job duties exponentially more detailed.

In sub-committee the company shared details of one of their proposals including the desire to contract out the following types of work: removing lead cable, pre-wire, placement of inner duct, pole transfer, and placing of all types of cable.

Thanks to everyone who has participated and are continuing to participate in mobilization activities.  We will continue to prove narcissism is not acceptable We cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.

We will begin meeting at the common interest table tomorrow.

Ignominy: shameful or dishonorable
