CWA District 3 Current and Upcoming Bargaining
Bargaining is just around the corner for Mobility in Puerto Rico and then AT&T SE. We know we are in for a battle with both companies. In the District today, we have two (2) Frontier and three (3) CenturyLink contracts being bargained. Currently one Local in Florida has two CenturyLink contracts where they are waiting for dates in December to return to the bargaining table. We have Rick Feinstein chairing all CenturyLink and Frontier contracts, J.C. Smith is chairing Highland Telephone Cooperative and Twin Lakes Telephone Cooperative and Mike Fahrenholt is chairing ADT/TYCO.
I need your help by simply taking a few minutes out of your busy day, to demonstrate your support by sending an email to the Local Presidents listed below. These Local Presidents’ are bargaining for their members’ survival. As Rick Feinstein would tell you, “different tables, same BS”!
