Negotiations

What an AMAZING Day!!!

Brothers and Sisters,

There is no bargaining update for today as of yet, But let us tell you this. Today was all about YOU!! Trust me the bargaining team was kept up to date immediately as actions happened in our local. Every office had full participation in the Unfair Labor Practice Strike today, Piscataway NJ, Freehold NJ, Middletown NJ, Bedminster NJ, 33 Thomas ST in NYC, Dix Hills Long Island, White Plains NY, Huntington Long Island, OSWF techs, and this is for every tour today. Also as a side note Local 1058 members walked with us today as well and we can not thank them enough for joining us in standing united. 

Bargaining Update #72

Dear Members,
Before reading this report we want y ou to know that the bargining team has your best interest in mind and are working hard to get us all a fair contract. Pleae call or see your shop stewards for an update on any mobilization activities or questions about negotiations. The company is sending you emails to agree to the BULLSHIT FINAL OFFER that they emailed out, because they are not showing you all of the details and they are not even available for you to see! Why? because in the details they are screwing you over and dont even have the decency or respect to let you see this. Keep up the mobilization efforts. 
In Unity,
Local 1150

Bargaining Update

May 30, 2018

The Union and the Company met today informally, they gave us a demonstration of the better off calculator that was sent to the membership on 5/22/18. As you know the company sent this out to the members without the bargaining committee knowing, which we view as direct dealing, a violation under the NLRA. The Bargaining Team had several questions on what factors are used in making the calculations. The calculator works for an estimate but is not really as accurate as we would have expected. For example, the company uses averages in several parts of the calculator, while making you feel like it is tailored to you with the information you enter on the basic information sheet. What it did show is the Hugh disparities between in how much better off the members in progression as well as different titles would be treated. The leveraged titles are also not as accurate as we would have expected and that raises concern when using the calculator to make decisions.

The Company did respond to a data request but we still have outstanding requests that we need to truly understand the impact to our members as well as formulate our proposals. Some of the data we have been receiving actually supports our positions more than makes us understand the company needs to change.

We are more than ever determined to bargain until we reach a fair and just contract for our members.

The Union did reject the company offer and we are waiting for the company to respond to our proposals.

AT&T LEGACY T BARGAINING REPORT #65
May 23, 2018
The Bargaining Team did not meet with the Company today. We instructed the CWA Legal Department to file an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge with the NLRB against AT&T. We do not have a tentative agreement with AT&T so for them to request a vote from the Membership is absurd. The Bargaining Team has remained ready to negotiate with the Company as we wait for the Company to provide the economic data that will affect our Members’ future.

Bargaining Update

April 18, 2018

The Bargaining Team has received numerous questions about the BCB2 Plan. BCB2 stands for Bargained Cash Balance Program 2. This plan was introduced in 2009 for new hires in 2010 and beyond. It was originally designed as a fix to counter the Company discontinuing a defined pension plan for future employees.

 

We met with the Company three separate times today but no progress was made.

 

Today is Thursday so remember to wear RED!!!
