Avaya Call Center Mobilization

It seems that a really contagious outbreak occurred in the call centers. It appears that the problem was some type of allergic reaction to pitiful health care proposals from Avaya.

In Oklahoma, Avaya health care packages were distributed, the packages contained a band aid, aspirin and a screw. The Oklahoma local has been very active. There was a terrible bout of coughing and sneezing caused by the Company's awful proposal. As the time progressed, it appeared that muscle cramping was also problematic; causing many people to stand seeking some relief. Many other activities are happening on a daily basis.

In Tennessee, meet and greets continue and read day is going well.

Atlanta had a horrible health day. The members wore band aids, even a few accidents happened with members showing up with crutches, boot shoes and people who had their heads completely bandaged!

Denver continues to be very active. The folks there are sick of the Company's retrogressive proposals. Band aids were sported by all, again crutches were present and one member had his neck bandaged because he had to give himself a tracheotomy since under the Company proposal we can't afford health care. Where is the casket by the way; we heard it was sighted near Atlanta.

Floridia had a strong showing with the band aids and all are seeing red.

The emails to the Peterson call had an affect. The Union negotiations were specifically mentioned and Peterson actually stuttered when trying to respond on the call. Great work!

Keep up the pressure: Contract deadline is less than two weeks away!!!  Remember 3:15 pm.
