Today, February 25th the Bargaining Team met with AT&T to exchange the first round of proposals. The Union’s Chief Bargainer advised in opening remarks the following: our desire is to reach a tentative agreement on-time; we are here to represent our Members; the company needs to consider the Union’s proposals seriously; and the proposals presented throughout this process are based on the Members’ responses to our bargaining survey. The team advised AT&T (Day 1 and 2) we plan to address employment security, wages, protecting benefits, healthcare coverage, and working conditions. The team submitted several proposals to AT&T’s team. The Company requested a recess to review the Union’s proposals after several clarifying questions.
In Solidarity,
