CWA District 3/ATT Mobility Bargaining -- Report #5

Your Bargaining committee met with AT&T Company representatives today to continue bargaining discussions.

CWA rejected the company’s retrogressive proposal on pensions.

We then passed revised proposals on Article 19 (Basis of Compensation) and two new proposals, one on a National Training Advisory committee, and one to renew the Neutrality agreement.

The company had many questions on these and previous proposals and expressed concern for the cost of our proposals. After much discussion they said they would look at the proposals and get back to us.

The company rejected our proposal on tours at the Memphis Distribution Center (MDC) and changes in the civic duty absence language.

The company also withdrew their previous proposal on Holidays.

We recessed for the day to continue developing proposals as well as preparing responses to the company proposals.

We are scheduled to meet again Monday morning.

In Unity,

CWA Mobility Bargaining team
