Windstream

On Wednesday, April 1, 2020, the election committee counted the ballots returned for the Tentative Agreement that was reached and certifies that the agreement has not ratified. The Bargaining Chair will be reaching out to the company to schedule dates to return to the table to negotiate.

Your CWA 6171 Bargaining Committee is pleased to announce we have reached a Tentative Agreement with Windstream. We appreciate everyone supporting the committee during these long days of negotiations.  We were up against a tall task, with Windstream in bankruptcy, to balance getting a fair and just agreement and recognizing where the company finances and stock prices are currently. 

Today was a big day in negotiations as the company made some beneficial movement on several outstanding proposals. We passed counters back and forth and we feel we are in a good place going into expiration day. Tell your manager we want a fair contract and wear black tomorrow.
