2011 CWA/ATT Mobility Puerto Rico Bargaining Report #4

Your Bargaining Committee met with the company representatives this morning to continue discussions.

The Company did not have any new proposals or responses to our previous proposals. They did ask questions about our proposal on Union status. We explained it referred to any activities by members of the Union that are protected by law as well as Stewards, Officers or anyone representing the Union. That is all the company had for this session.

The Union did not pass any new proposals today, but had questions on the company response to our proposal on Grievance time lines as well as questions on their proposals to increase Time-in-Title and location, Absence language, Work assignments and Safety. Most of the questions the company could not answer directly and said they would research the questions and get back to us next week.

Neither party had anything else to present so we recessed for the day to continue to work on additional proposals, prepare minutes and reports.

Bargaining will resume in Decatur, GA next week and continue until we reach the best tentative agreement possible which would then be subject to ratification by the membership.

Based on the responses so far from the company, we need the support of the membership to let AT&T know you want and deserve a fair contract!

The next bargaining report will be after we meet next week.

In Unity,

Your CWA Mobility Bargaining team

* The contract expires Friday February 18th.
