AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report # 9

Today the CWA /AT&T Southeast bargaining team met with the Company. The day of bargaining began with the Company rejecting one of our proposals to move the Wire Technicians into the core contract then they made a proposal to perform some clean-up language regarding DTV. We were prepared for the Company’s rejection of our proposal and handed them another proposal to move the Wire technicians into the core contract with some amended language. The Consumer/Small Business Subcommittee met with the Company today to have discussions over proposals that are on the table as well as a Work From Home proposal that has been rejected by the Company to see if they  could have the fog lifted from their heads so that they could understand this is a strong desire of the membership. The Wire Tech and Others Subcommittees are meeting this afternoon with the Company to see what momentum can be gained. 

Keep doing what you’re doing so that everyone knows where we stand. Thanks for all that you do!
