Local Contract Ratification Results

We have finished counting the contract ratification votes cast by members of our local. Lubbock has voted no to the tentative agreement. The count of the vote was 122 against, with 66 for.

District-wide voting continues, with a deadline of the close of business on April third. We do not expect to have a final tally until April Fourth at the earliest and ask our members to be patient as final results may take longer. We will keep you informed.

Explanation Meeting Adjourned

At this time our delegates are traveling home from the explanation meeting. In the upcoming days we will review the information disseminated at the meeting to make certain we have a full understanding of this tentative agreement in advance of a ratification vote.

Explanation Meeting In Session

I will update this post as more information becomes available. At this time, Malashon is relaying that among the items mentioned in the District 6 brief, employees working for Workforce and the Office of The President can expect pay upgrades in this tentative agreement. EWP time will be able to be taken in single hour increments. Job upgrades to the titles of customer support spet, information systems tech, wireless tech, and tech-msc/rnoc are included. A transfer process between AT&T Core and Mobility is included, core employees will be job protected and transfer will be on a voluntary basis. Additionally, should an employee transfer from one AT&T company to another, benefits including FMLA eligibility will be preserved.

We are hearing that our bargaining committee was unsuccessful in getting AT&T to agree to restore healthcare as a bargaining item in this tentative agreement.

Additionally, the current pension plan remains unchanged, with no increases for the term of the agreement.
