Bargaining Report #10
July 18, 2024
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This morning we met with the company to submit multiple proposals and discussed the status of multiple proposals that are still on the table. We continue to be in this slow pattern of bargaining and waiting on slow company responses. Hopefully, the company understands that utility operations employees are serious about the proposals on the table and looking to gain a fair and just contract.
CWA is unified and we still want more in 2024!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We met with the Company again today to review proposals and get additional clarification on a few of the company’s proposals. We countered the company’s proposal for BBI and are waiting for their answer. We are still holding on and waiting for the company to give us answers for several of our Utility Operations proposals.
Keep mobilizing and sending your pictures in for the encouragement of your bargaining team and to let the Company know that we mean business!CWA is unified and we still want more in 2024!

Bargaining Report #8
July 11, 2024
Dear brothers and sisters, we met with the Company today to review a proposal to include BBI into the BST contract. We have some issues with the Company’s proposal and are drafting a counter-proposal to ensure that the BBI members will maintain their seniority, benefits, and all bargained for rights they currently have in addition to new rights they will gain from the BST contract. As always, we have to stay vigilant when looking to ensure that our membership is protected. Keep mobilizing and sending your pictures in for the encouragement of your bargaining team and to let the Company know that we mean business!
CWA is unified and we still want more in 2024!

Brothers and Sisters,
Good Evening,
We hope that all of you had a good and safe 4th of July. Your bargaining team is back from the holidays and ready to get back on the grind. The committees for BST are breaking down into additional sub-committees to try and deal with specific issues and subjects. That being said, the management bargainers are spread thin and we are still awaiting responses to several of our proposals. We will continue to keep you informed of our progress.

Today your bargaining team met with the company to exchange proposals. The Union submitted proposals surrounding bereavement, holidays, overtime, and health and safety. The company asked clarifying questions and the committee explained the reasoning behind the proposals and its importance to Machine Operators, their work life balance, and the company. The company said they heard us loud and clear and will take everything we said into consideration when responding back to our proposals.
The company said they are looking forward to bargaining with the Utilities bargaining team and we are ready willing and able to fight for an equitable contract.
