CWA/ATT SE Bargaining Report #24

We have made some movement towards reaching a tentative agreement. Thus far, we have agreed to some clean-up language, addressed issues regarding the contractual language on safety in the UFO Addendum, addressed issues for members who serve our country, and a plethora of modifications to the surplus process. We are working hard to close the gap and make improvements for the membership. Mobilize, Mobilize, Mobilize.

CWA/AT&T Utility Bargaining Report #2

The Utility Operations bargaining team would like to first send out our sincere apologies for not posting more updates surrounding bargaining. We have met with the Company and movement has been slow. Negotiations have been slow because several our main proposals surrounding wages, benefits, and quality of life are at the common interest table (CIT). The bargaining team took a break from negotiations this weekend, but we are back on the grind today.

CWA/ATT SE Bargaining Report #23

Today your bargaining team caucused and deliberated the next course of action in response to the company's retrogressive bargaining tactics. The Company has preached their desire to come in on time, yet yesterday their actions sang a different tune. As we reach expiration, it is apparent that the only way to get the company to move on their childish stance is for our membership to send a loud message that we are prepared for a war they do not want.

CWA/ATT SE Bargaining Report #22

With just over one week remaining until contract expiration, there continues to be vast differences between our idea of a fair agreement and the company's idea. After seemingly fruitful discussions in subcommittee, the company has devalued everything we have proposed. We want to reach an agreement that benefits all of our members. Unfortunately, the company wants a contract that benefits only the corporation. We must stand unified and send a clear message to the company.

CWA/ATT SE Bargaining Report #21

The bargaining team met with the company late yesterday and received a few packaged proposals. The company proposed expanding the scope of work for Wire Technicians, changing the surplus process within CPE, and adding additional steps to the surplus process for all employees. We are continuing to form counter proposals in response to the mediocre proposals we have received from the company. It is becoming very clear to the team that the company is not sincere about getting a contract.
