AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report # 11

The Network Subcommittee met with the Company today and spoke in great detail and length regarding proposals concerning the Core contract. Some of these included a structured 30-minute lunch option, the build-up of hours towards double time, the refusal of overtime (overtime cap), Article 14, Standby, Night Differential, the Uniform Program, and Art 10 transfers. The Company made one thing very clear today and said that they feel some employees are currently paid more than what the Company believes is appropriate and wants some of this to change. We let them know that we don’t have an appetite for that nonsense. The other Subcommittees met continuously throughout the day in caucus researching proposals and preparing the next strategic move. Thanks to everyone who is participating in the mobilization efforts, and keep showing that we are ready to FIGHT FOR MORE IN 24!
