Regional Bargaining Report # 23
IBEW NY/NE and CWA District 1
Wednesday, July 29, 2015
IBEW New England and CWA District 1, IBEW Local 2213 Regional Bargaining 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 made it clear that the members of the IBEW/CWA built the network in the west and we were adamant that the money should be invested back into the landline business. We were very vocal on the fact that this money should not be used for wireless or spectrum. The response from the Company was a blank stare.
The Company still has not begun to bargain seriously. There are only 3 days left until the expiration of our contract. Now more than ever we need every member to participate in mobilization. We must send the Company a message that it is time to start bargaining a fair and just contract for our members and their employees. Send them a message…….
Contract Rally Thursday @ 6pm Bowdoin Square Boston. Let your voice be heard loud and clear. Protect your future…..
MOBILIZE NOW!!
FIGHT BACK!!
Fraternally,
Dave Keating
Business Manager
