AT&T SE Bargaining Report # 16

Effective July 15, all Consumer Subcommittee items have been moved to the main AT&T Southeast table due to a lack of movement on the Company’s part.  The CWA Subcommittee worked hard to stress the importance of several issues including working from home, flexible time off, service observing language improvements, and other Union demands.  The Company repeatedly expressed they have no interest in making changes to much of the language we have proposed because they claim it doesn’t fit their needs for the wireline business.  The Consumer Subcommittee put the Company on notice that the Bargaining Team has stated they aren’t leaving here without some of those items.  The Wire Technician Subcommittee met with the Company today for several hours discussing proposals and ongoing issues. The rest of the Bargaining Team worked on proposals throughout the day.  Thanks to Local 3310 for lunch and to Local 3607 for the gift basket, both items were very encouraging to the team!
