AT&T Legacy T Bargaining Report #56

The Company and Union Legacy T teams met all day today.  Some progress was made.  The Company withdrew most of the “policy changes” it had presented prior to bargaining: the mandatory branded apparel, the associated appearance guideline, its change in “conditional pay for disability”.  We agreed to reinstate pay to the minute once the Company’s systems are updated.  We also made some gains on one wage zone and expanding the city allowance for one area.

Several other “clean-up items” were TAed but, as we have said over and over again, the big issues of Health Care, pensions, wages and our job security language are still far from settled.  Off-the-record discussions are also taking place about Retiree Health Care.

We will be meeting again tomorrow morning.
