Piedmont Bargaining Report: 3/18/2024

On March 18, 2024, the Piedmont Bargaining Committee reported:

Your CWA Bargaining Committee met with the Piedmont Bargaining committee on March 12, 13, & 14.

The session started out with the Company passing proposals on:

• Article 4 Filling of Vacancies
• Article 6 Hours of Service
• Article 8 Overtime
• Article 20 Health and Safety

The Company provided the Union with an update on the status of information requested to be able to formulate an economic proposal.

The Union passed proposals on:

• Article 4 Filling of Vacancies
• Article 6 Hours of Service
• Article 8 Overtime
• Article 9 Training

The Company responded by passing responses on the following:

• Article 4 Filling of Vacancies
• Article 6 Hours of Service
• Article 9 Training
• Article 15 Sick Leave

We were able to have meaningful conversations and are close to agreement on many articles, however we were not able to reach any tentative agreements.

We need members to show their support for the bargaining committee and process. It is very important to sign up the non-members so every member can get involved to help reach a fair contract.

Sign up for email and text updates by filling out this form. To show your support, be sure to wear our union pin. If you did not receive a union pin yet, contact your Local.

Don't forget to send your solidarity selfies and group photos to info@piedmontagent.org with your name and station to show all Piedmont stations are watching the progress of bargaining.

Every member needs to ask the Company: Where’s The Fairness.

Our next session is April 23rd, 24th, & 25th.
