The Company and the Union met today virtually to resume bargaining.   CWA’s intent was trying to close the gap on the outstanding proposals in hopes of reaching a fair and just first contract for our members.  As most of you know, we have been working diligently to negotiate the first contract for our Dish members that is long overdue. Unfortunately, during our bargaining preparations meeting with the CWA bargaining team.

Dear AT&T SW Local Presidents:

Please be advised that in bargaining over the Premises Technician VSO, the Company has agreed to review special requests utilizing the same process as was followed for the AFO VSP.

Earlier this week, CWA approached the Company requesting additional time for employees being matched.
