Your CWA Bargaining Committee met with the Company on Saturday, February 16, 2008.\u00c2\u00a0 The Union presented revised bargaining demands to strengthen language on Recognition and Establishment of the Unit, new grievance and arbitration language, tour scheduling, job vacancy and transfers, call out, on-call, commission and quota relief, time off for funerals and Holidays.\u00c2\u00a0 During this bargaining session Richard Kneupper, Assistant the District 6 Vice President, gave a strongly worded statement accusing the Company of surface bargaining and not listening to our Member\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s demands.\u00c2\u00a0 Richard told the Company that they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care about the constant revolving door of employees leaving the Company and trying to find ways to keep trained people on the payroll.<\/p>\n
There are seven days until the contract expires and we are long way away from reaching an agreement.\u00c2\u00a0 The Company has done little to address the Union\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s demands on bridging of service, force adjustment, force rearrangement, quota and commission relief, scheduling of tours, GPS, severance pay and many other CWA bargaining demands.\u00c2\u00a0 AT&T Mobility is a very profitable Company, the largest Wireless Company in the Country.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time they started acting like it, by fairly compensating the employees who have been instrumental in making the Company a powerhouse wireless provider.<\/p>\n
Due to this lack of movement at the bargaining table the CWA District 6 will be conducting a strike authorization vote with the Members this week. The Committee strongly urges you to vote \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for strike authorization.\u00c2\u00a0 Tell your Managers that you are demanding a good contract and that you will accept no less.\u00c2\u00a0 We need to stay strong, stick together and Mobilize in the work place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
