AT&T Mobility NBBP Bargaining #9

The CWA Bargaining Committee met via phone conference week along with the CWA Research Department in assessing the latest company numbers for contribution costs. As we reported previously, AT&T has moved our way on items that make the healthcare insurance more affordable for more of our members; but AT&T has not offered anything that CWA considers fair for our members in Puerto Rico: members who do not have access to the fully insured AT&T healthcare plan.  We still have not agreed on contribution costs in the final years of this agreement, and have not seen a company proposal with the language we need to “unwind” this NBBP agreement that prevents us from bargaining our wages and healthcare together.  The CWA Bargaining Committee remains available to meet with AT&T in hopes of getting a fair agreement to take to our membership.
