CWA - Avaya Bargaining Report #27

Greetings:

The Bargaining committee chairs from the Unions and Avaya met most of the day today trying to get closer to an agreement. The Unions presented a comprehensive counter proposal on Healthcare to Avaya. The company said they will look at it and get back to us tomorrow. The major issues remaining are Healthcare for both active and retirees, Pensions and Wages.

The clock remains stopped, and the 2003 contract is still in effect. You should report to work as normal. No one should be working overtime and everyone should be working to the rule until we have an agreement.

In Unity,
CWA-Avaya Bargaining Team
