Despite a very extensive presentation by the Union last week on quality problems with contractors doing Construction Tech work, along with a proposal that would both address those issues and bring more jobs back into the bargaining unit, AT&T flatly rejected our proposal. They continue to ignore our need to protect our work and allow our members to do jobs we are perfectly capable of doing ? and do better ? just to protect their so-called ?flexibility?.

It is remarkable that with only three full days of bargaining left before expiration, the Company arrived at the table with ONE proposal.

Your CWA bargaining team waited all day to meet with the Company, expecting a proposal on Health Care and Benefits in response to yesterday?s Union proposal. The Company pushed a 1:00 o?clock meeting to 2:00 o?clock. 2:00 o?clock was changed to 3:30. 3:30 was postponed to 4:30.

The Union and Company Bargaining Teams met today. The Company had NO NEW PROPOSALS. They were unhappy with the Health Care Benefits proposal the Union presented.
