The Orange Bargaining Committee continues to meet with the Company every day, and unfortunately there is not a lot of positive movement to report. As we have said many times, Medical Benefits are a major issue. It is disgraceful that a company that makes so much money continues to offer benefits proposals that will raise costs for many members that need the benefits the most.

The latest bargaining information for AT&T Mobility and DirecTV (Orange), Frontier Communications, and more.

Your  Bargaining  Team  continues  to  meet  with  the  Company  on  a  daily  basis.  As  we  have  stated multiple  times,  we  are  engaged  in  discussions  specifically  related  to  each  group  in  the  Orange Contract.  We  also  spend  a  significant  amount  of  time  working  on  the  issues  that  affect everyone  equally  such  as  scheduling,  medical  and  compensation.

After a bad start to bargaining this week, we did have some progress in more recent bargaining sessions. The progress is not nearly enough to get us to a contract. Medical benefits are still a real sticking point and we remain very far apart. In a world where we are dealing with a pandemic and the physical and emotional stress caused by the pandemic, the Company is trying to increase cost for benefits and medications.
