Wireless Bargaining Update #18

Your CWA Bargaining Team met with the Company on Thursday, February 21, 2008. Progress at the negotiating table was slow. The Union had presented many revised bargaining demands on Wednesday. The Company addressed very little of the Union’s demands on Thursday. The CWA Bargaining Committee have numerous bargaining demands that need to be addressed including, bridging of service, tour scheduling, management rights, commission and quota relief, a Team Performance Award, a GPS Agreement, the Motor Vehicle Usage Plan, the benefit representative, a successorship clause and 401k plan improvements. The Company has not proposed a significant wage increase, and continues to bargain a retrogressive short term disability plan. The Union has made major movement in trying to reach an agreement. The Company has not been serious in addressing the Members demands at the bargaining table. The CWA Bargaining team will be meeting with the Company today, Friday, February 22, 2008. Time is growing short to reach an agreement by the expiration of the contract, February 24, at 11:59 p.m
