CWA District 6 and your CWA Bargaining Committee wanted to make sure our members of Local 6218 are up to date on the latest news regarding the negotiating between CWA and Consolidated Communications.
After the last bargaining session on November 13, 2019, the Union and Consolidated Communications of Texas (Lufkin/Conroe) agreed on two days, December 17 & 18, 2019, to continue negotiations on the contract which expired on October 16, 2019.
Your CWA Bargaining Committee and Century Link of Texas met Wednesday, November 20, 2019 and Thursday, November 21, 2019 as we continued our intense discussions with the Company fighting to protect and improve our 2016 Collective Bargaining Agreement which had expired September 30, 2019. The Company wanted too many give backs but your Bargaining Committee stood strong and would not give up fighting for our members.
The Union and Consolidated Communications of Texas (Lufkin/Conroe) continued negotiations Wednesday, October 30, 2019. The Company advised us multiple times during the day that they needed additional time to respond to the Union’s RFI (Request for Information), at which point they finally got back to us, at 5:00 pm, regarding the response to the RFI.
