Regional Bargaining Report # 24

CWA District 1 NY/NE

Wednesday, July 29, 2015

The CWA District 1, IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Regional Committees met with the Company today on an informal basis to continue discussions on issues involving Flexibility, Health Care, and Call Sharing.  We also received a presentation from the Company explaining the effects the sale of California, Florida, and Texas to Frontier will have on our members.   The Company sold these territories for $10.5 Billion but their “subject matter expert” couldn’t tell the Union what the Company plans to do with the profits of the sale.  The Union was adamant that the money should be invested back into the landline business to build Fios.    

The Company still has not begun to bargain seriously With only 3 days left until the expiration of our contract we need every member to participate in mobilization more than ever to send the Company a message that it is time to start bargaining a fair and just contract for our members and their employees.  

MOBILIZE NOW!!
FIGHT BACK!!
