The Bargaining Teams just finished meeting. The Company rejected the CWA?s package ?in its entirety? and put their own package on the table.

In an attempt to bring some fairness to these negotiations, this morning our CWA bargaining Team presented a comprehensive package to the Company. As we have said, the Company has been very clear in telling us what problems of theirs they want us to fix and have been completely unresponsive to our issues.

The bargaining teams met earlier today and will meet again tonight, but we are no closer to an agreement than we were on day one.

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?.
