Our Bargaining Team met with the Company today and held some discussions on Health Care, and reviewed information on the increased cost to our members of the Company?s current proposal. Following that, we met in subcommittee on absence, Incentive Plans, quota relief, Leverage Titles, working conditions in the consumer sales center and the CNSCs.

There was no bargaining today, so there is no new Bargaining Report. This is a report of Mobilization Activities around the country, compiled by Shari Wojtowicz.

Your Bargaining Team met with the Company until 2:00 AM this morning. The Company said they were very ?disappointed? we didn?t move further on Health Care. We responded that we were also disappointed they have not moved on ONE issue that is important to our Union AND they are still looking for huge contributions from our members on absence - maybe a little less huge than their first proposal, but still huge. In addition, they still have takeaways on the table on job security, absence, pensions, double-time and more.

Bargaining and discussions are continuing today at all four AT&T units: East, Legacy, Midwest and West.CWA negotiators in every district worked hours past midnight yesterday to continue to push for fair contracts, and were determined to keep momentum going in today's sessions. Mobilization coordinators also met today to ramp up plans for more actions.

Our contract with AT&T Legacy will expire in just a few minutes. At this time, we still have many issues unresolved.
