Comcast Alle-Kiske Bargaining Report #5

17 May, 2017

The Union Bargaining Team met today, May 17, 2017, with the company committee to continue contract negotiations. Discussions continued on Wages and our fight to introduce a Wage Progression Scale to the contract, Training, Probationary Period, Holidays and Holiday Pay, TTO Scheduling, and Post Accident Testing procedures. The Union worked to answer the company's questions to satisfy company concerns related to open economic issues on the table. The company again answered some of our questions but many still remain. Talks today were slow moving as we work to come to a fair settlement.

Talks are scheduled to start again tomorrow, Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 10AM. There are many challenges that your bargaining team is still facing as this round of bargaining continues.

Remember to get involved and stay involved! Continue to see your Branch Rep or Steward for bargaining updates and mobilization info. Your tailgate this morning was a GREAT show of solidarity and support! Continue to share your ideas on workplace activities and actions. The Union team appreciates your support and efforts!
