Monthly Shop Steward's Meeting: 1st Tuesday of each month. 7:30PM Get Involved!
Ratification:
CWA District 3 members did not ratify the tentative agreement dated December 14th, 2009.
The following was put out by our District 3 leadership:
February 2, 2010
TO: All Local Presidents and Staff
AT&T Southeast Bargaining Units
FROM: Judith R. Dennis
Vice President – District 3
RE: Ratification Update
Since the BST Contract was turned down, District 3 will continue to operate under the same rules that have been in place since the expiration of the contract on August 8, 2009. At this time the negative impact has been that we are not able to arbitrate pending grievances. If other negative changes, for example, maintenance of dues, impasse, etc. are enacted by the Company you will be informed.
As stated in the January memo, the staff and I have met to discuss possible strategies for going forward.
We are also in the process of contacting all locals to discuss the issues they identified as the reason for the “no” vote.
