CWA District 9/AT&T West
Bargaining Bulletin #52
Wednesday, May 06, 2009
Our last Bulletin indicated that we would produce our next report when we have something of substance to report. While we don’t have a significant report today, we would like to summarize our activities since Friday. We met with the company in formal session on Saturday and made a comprehensive proposal on healthcare and wages. Monday, we met with District 9 Vice President Jim Weitkamp and Tuesday, with Vice President Weitkamp and CWA President Larry Cohen to discuss the status of bargaining and next steps. Today, we met with the company in formal session and received a list of questions regarding our healthcare proposal. We will be working with the CWA Research Department on an appropriate response.

We expect to meet tomorrow in both formal session and subcommittee and will keep you advised as events warrant.
For information we can’t put in these reports, stay in touch with your mobilizer.

Do you know who your mobilizer is? If not, call your Local.

CWA District 9/AT&T West
Bargaining Bulletin #51
Friday, May 01, 2009

The Memorandum of Agreement subcommittee met and continued dialogue on many agreements that the Company wants to eliminate. We have agreed to continue many and to eliminate some that are no longer relevant. We are working with the CWA research department in an effort to put a new proposal for Healthcare together. We have notified the company we will be making a proposal this weekend in an effort to get things moving. This is being done in spite of the fact we have not received all of the information requested from the Company. We will be putting out our next bulletin when we have something of substance to report. In the meantime, stay in contact with your Local and your mobilizer.
Your Strike Standby efforts are what make the difference. We’re seeing the company react to your mobilization activities and demonstrations. You have the power!
STRIKE STANDBY DAY 27!
