AT&T Legacy T Bargaining Report #19

The votes were counted last night for the Legacy T Strike Vote and a large majority voted YES. Now we need to show the Company that we are serious about that. Locals should be preparing picket assignments and improving Local communication (phone trees, text messaging, etc.) Members should check their desks or trucks for personal items they might need to take home next Friday. Personal “crib sheets” should not be left for Managers or Scabs to use.

At the table the Company again refused to discuss a pension increase for current Retirees. They refuse to even discuss it across the table, leaning on the fact that it is a “permissive subject” of bargaining. We will continue to raise it. We also presented a proposal to improve the payout for the Success Share Plan (SSP).

The remainder of the day was spent in subcommittee discussions on the Medical Benefits.
