CWA/AT&T SW Bargaining Report #22
29 MAR, 2025
After working in our own caucus all morning, the Bargaining Team met with the Company Saturday afternoon.

The Union passed a package proposal that would include major improvements in Appendix J: Double Time, Night Differential after 6pm, no forced OT past 12 hours in a week (voluntary still an option), guaranteed 40 hour work weeks, and an increase in per diem while working out of town are some of the major improvements we are asking for. The way a package proposal works is the Company must accept all pieces of the proposal or it is voided.

The Union also passed our second proposal on wages, in which we are looking for a significant wage increase over the duration and an additional proposal to bump Appendix J employees up the first year, before the GWI kicks in.

The Company rejected and countered our benefits proposal in which they are trending in the right direction, however we still have a long ways to go before we agree on a TA on benefits.

Two weeks to go till expiration as of today! These next two weeks it is crucial that our members don’t take a back seat and continue to mobilize in our work places! This is your contract and this Company needs to feel that we are United to help push us across the finish line.

Reminder, the deadline to Vote for the strike Authorization Vote is coming up early next week. If you haven’t voted yet, please check in with your Local!

The Bargaining Team is scheduled to meet with the Company next on Monday morning and a bargaining report will follow that evening.
