What’s Happening Where You Are?
You may see only a dozen of your Mobility co-workers each day at your store, or a few hundred at your center, or even none if you’re home garaged.

Your Bargaining Committee met today in formal session. The Union responded with substantiation and answers to a series of clarifying questions presented by the Company on our Proposal Overview. We also discussed the process for determining which issues the parties will work on in subcommittees. We are set to meet again at 10:00 am tomorrow. We again thank all of you for your mobilization activities.

0Comments Bargaining Bulletin #2
Your Bargaining Committee and the Company met today in formal session. The Union presented an overview of proposals that included wages, pensions, job security, benefits and working conditions. The Company shared a sales/marketing type of presentation regarding consumer driven health care, showing our benefit costs compared to non-union and other large companies. The Company’s stated objective to “reduce costs” and to change behavior by moving toward a “balanced” plan. “Balanced” meaning if the employee “consumer” had to pay more for services they may not utilize them; presumably because it was a wiser “consumer” choice. We believe that any time and especially in these economic times, the “consumer” will be forced to forego needed health services to make ends meet. One good feature of the company’s presentation is that preventative care would be paid at 100%.
