The Company addressed very little of the Union’s demands on Thursday.

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.

Your CWA Mobility Bargaining Committee met twice with the Company yesterday, February 19, 2008. Progress at the table was very slow. The Company rejected revised Union demands for a Monitoring Agreement, and a Motor Vehicle Usage Plan for Technicians.

The Company presented their second economic proposal. The Union rejected the wage raises as inadequate. The Company is still proposing a separate Pension Plan for new hires and cutting short-term disability benefits from 52 weeks to 26 weeks. The CWA Bargaining Committee proposed revised bargaining demands on Management Rights, a Four Day Work Week and the Commission Plan for Retail Sales Consultants.

AT&T Mobility Bargaining Report #14
Your CWA Bargaining Committee met with the Company on Saturday, February 16, 2008. 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. 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’s demands. Richard told the Company that they don’t care about the constant revolving door of employees leaving the Company and trying to find ways to keep trained people on the payroll.
There are seven days until the contract expires and we are long way away from reaching an agreement. The Company has done little to address the Union’s 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. AT&T Mobility is a very profitable Company, the largest Wireless Company in the Country. It’s time they started acting like it, by fairly compensating the employees who have been instrumental in making the Company a powerhouse wireless provider.
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 “Yes” for strike authorization. Tell your Managers that you are demanding a good contract and that you will accept no less. We need to stay strong, stick together and Mobilize in the work place.

Article: Cost of Living Allowance
COLA
This is in reference to Article V, Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), in the Southwest Region's 2004 Labor Agreements. The COLA was triggered this year because the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeded 2.25% based on the percentage difference between December 2005 and December 2006. The CPI for the period was 2.44%. After the formula in the
contract is applied, employees will receive an additional .13% to the 2.25% scheduled increase (2.38%). This applies to all wage schedules and all wage steps.
Due to the changes in wage schedules, we are printing an insert for our contract books that show the new wages effective April 1, 2007 and April 6, 2008. The inserts will have a strip of adhesive so that they can be inserted into the back of the contract books. We will be distributing these inserts to all bargained employees the last week of March. A communication is planned for the last week of March to notify employees that the inserts will be sent to them.

Article: CWA Reaches Three-Year Agreement with Avaya
CWA has reached a tentative three-year agreement with Avaya Inc. that achieves workers' key bargaining goals of improving job security and maintaining quality health care for both active and retired workers, among other gains, CWA Vice President Ralph Maly reported.
Maly, who heads the union's Communications and Technologies sector and led the CWA bargaining team, credited members' mobilization "for sending a strong message to management that we were serious about getting a fair contract."
The tentative agreement maintains employer-paid health care premiums for both active and retired workers over the contract term, a critical goal for CWA members.
It also provides for a 3 percent wage increase in each contract year, plus a four percent increase in the pension bands effective July 1, 2006. Other pension improvements include a new lump sum distribution option and additional beneficiary options.
Improvements in job security issues include a one-year no-layoff provision for workers in technical titles, a sales referral program guaranteeing work for union-represented workers and a one-year job "watermark" for workers in care centers.
The agreement covers about 3,000 customer service representatives, technicians, sales and other workers at the company. The IBEW represents about 300 Avaya workers and the two unions bargained jointly. Talks continued past the May 27 contract expiration date.
CWA is scheduling contract explanation meetings to answer questions about the proposed settlement; the membership ratification vote will take place within the next several weeks. For more information, go to www.cwa-comtech.org.

Sixty-four employees of Direct Tech Southwest in Paducah voted Thursday to join St. Louis-based Communications Workers of America Local 6320.
Contract talks will begin soon, according to a CWA news release.
Workers for Direct Tech, at 857 N. H.C. Mathis Drive, do installation and repair for DirecTV in Kentucky, Illinois and southwest Missouri. The new bargaining unit consists of installers, customer service representatives and the warehouse employees.
CWA officials said they were contacted by Direct Tech employees in Missouri who were concerned about working conditions, wages and benefits. Employees in Kentucky and Illinois shared the concerns, they said.
The workers received help from the union in filing an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board, CWA said.
