Bargaining resumed today and it looks like nothing has changed since the contract expiration.
Feb 11, 2013
There were no formal meetings that took place today. The Company and Union spent the day reviewing the proposals that are still open and the counter proposals that were passed across the table yesterday.
Feb 11, 2013
The contract covering 22,000 CWA workers at AT&T Mobility expired late Feb. 9 but has been extended while talks continue.
Feb 10, 2013
The Union met several times with the Company today to address the unresolved issues that still remain open. The Union passed new proposals on Article 22-Vacations and Article 24-Excused Days with Pay. We are still attempting to improve upon the existing language and to address the restrictions surrounding both articles to allow for more flexibility and improvement.
Feb 10, 2013
After yet another failed attempt at reaching a new tentative agreement before contract expiration, the Company and Union agreed to extend the contract. This means that the terms and conditions of the current contract will remain in effect while bargaining continues.
Feb 9, 2013
The Union made a return trip to the bargaining table late this afternoon to get an answer from the Company on our comprehensive proposal made earlier today. There was little progress made.
Feb 9, 2013
Bargaining resumed today with a pleasant surprise from our Union Brothers and Sisters. As the bargaining committee was in discussion with Company, many of our union friends were circling around the hotel where our meetings have been taking place making sure the Company knew we came to get a fair contract and that we didn’t come alone.
Feb 8, 2013
The Company and Union met long enough today for the company to reject almost all of our proposals from yesterday.
Feb 8, 2013
CWA's contract with AT&T Mobility expires this Saturday, February 9, at midnight. When this happens, you should be prepared for four possible situations.
Feb 8, 2013
Members of the Communications Workers of America under the AT&T Mobility "Orange" contract have voted overwhelmingly to authorize CWA leaders to call strikes if fair contracts cannot be reached.
Feb 7, 2013
After a day of not meeting, the Company and Union were back at the bargaining table today. The Union passed many proposals today in its attempt to address the remaining outstanding issues.
Feb 5, 2013
Bargaining resumed today and after the Company rejected the Union’s proposal on the New Letter of Agreement-Electronic Monitoring; your bargaining committee packed it in and walked away from the bargaining table.
Feb 4, 2013
Bargaining resumed today and for the first time since we started back on January 22, 2013 we had multiple meetings that lasted more than 10 minutes with some progress being made. Several tentative agreements were reached but the rejections still outweighed the progress that was made.
Feb 4, 2013
AT&T Mobility members received an update on the "Orange" contract bargaining process on February 3, 2013.
Feb 3, 2013
Bargaining resumed today for yet another non-eventful session with the Company. The Company came in with a well rehearsed version of R-E-J-E-C-T. I’m sure Aretha Franklin would have been proud of them.
Feb 2, 2013
Bargaining resumed today and for the first time since bargaining started back on January 22, 2013, a tentative agreement was reached on one (1) section of Article 19-Basis of Compensation specific to Market to Market transfers. It’s a small step, but at least we got one.
Feb 1, 2013
Bargaining resumed today in yet another record breaking speed session. Today the only Company proposal was a counter to what the Union passed on Article 20-Travel.
Jan 31, 2013
Bargaining resumed today with a heated discussion when the Company rejected the Union’s proposal on the new Letter of Agreement-Electronic Monitoring. The Company has no interest in providing any type of relief to the constant monitoring workers face.
