Negotiations for a National Health Care Benefits plan for Mobility workers kicked off on June 3rd. While the current agreement expires on June 30th, our benefits will continue unchanged through the rest of the year. If no agreement is reached by June 30th, a mediator will be brought in, and if that process is also unsuccessful, the company and the union will present their cases to an arbitrator for a final decision.
As negotiations began, thousands CWA members across the country mobilized in support of their brothers and sisters who work at Mobility.
Our bargaining committee is chaired by District 3 Administrative Director Betty Witte, and includes representatives from each of our four collective bargaining agreements: Paul Klabel of the District 3 agreement; Holly Sorey and Joe Sison of the "Orange" agreement; Jim Murray of the District 6 agreement; Rafael Castro of the District 3 Puerto Rico agreement; and District 1 staff representative John Alphonse.
