Mobility Health Care
Negotiations
between
CWA and AT&T
begin June 3,
2008
CWA's National Health Care Agreement
negotiated with AT&t Mobility will expire on June 30, 2008.
This expiration does not change the Health Care Plan benefits during
2008, but it does mean we must bargain the plan beyond 2008.
What will happen in this process is that our
bargaining committee will meet with AT&T's in an effort to reach a
new tentative agreement by June 30. If an agreement is not
reached, a Federal Mediator will come in and try to facilitate
one. If the Mediator is unsuccessful, the final step in this
process will be for the Union and the Company to present their
respective proposals before an Arbitrator. The arbitrator's
decision will be binding on both parties.
Action Item...Please go to the web address
shown below and complete the online Health Care Survey by May 9, 2008
(not from a Company computer, please!). Your participation will
help guide our bargaining committee in the development of proposals and
counter proposals that may be necessary during negotiations. Your
answers to the survey questions will also help us to identify any
problems with the current plan and what is most important to you.
