CWA - Avaya Bargaining Report #9

Greetings:

The Union and the Company met today at 2PM.  The Company had no new proposals to present.  The Unions (CWA and IBEW) presented a counter to the Company proposal on the Avaya Award, and a counter to their proposal on the Avaya Savings Plan.  The Unions rejected the Company proposal on Academic Awards.

CWA met in sub-committee this afternoon to discuss proposed changes we wanted to make in Article 9 (Grievances), 16 (Transfers/ Allowances), and 24 (Force Adjustment).  In addition, we discussed changes in the Subcontracting Committee language as well as Special City Allowances.

The Unions will continue to work on proposals and responses to current Company proposals.

Twelve more days!!!!
