AT&T SE Bargaining Report # 13

Yesterday the Bargaining Team met with the Company after the report was sent out.  During that Bargaining session, the Company rejected several of our proposals and we made a couple more.  The Wire Tech Subcommittee has been meeting with the Company tirelessly throughout the week as well as today and has been getting the sense that the Company doesn’t have a desire to move much in our direction at the moment.  Several other Subcommittees met with the Company yesterday as well and we have all had the same report as we come out of the meetings, which is that the Company doesn’t seem to have a desire to lean our way on a voluntary basis.  Today the Bargaining Team met with the Company and was able to reach an agreement on a couple of our proposals concerning the AT&T SE Billing Unit. A lot of time has also been spent today in caucus studying and preparing more proposals.
