Let the Company hear it clear and loud, there will be NO TAKE BACK.  We are Moving Forward Never Backwards, We are AT&T 2020! Pa’Lante Siempre!

Members carried pictures of their families and told the Company: “This is who we are bargaining for” telling AT&T that the effect of this process goes beyond the bargaining table to the members and their families.

Today, as we launch bargaining, the Union recognizes we are here to bargain for a fair and equitable contract that will allow the company to make a profit but offers protection for our members that will allow them to take care of their families.

We are pleased to say that CWA Local 3181 over the past year has signed up over 300 new members thanks to our crack team of outstanding organizers in Palm Beach County, St. Lucie County School District and the Village of Tequesta.

CWA Local 3181 has about 25 trained Internal Organizers spread throughout the 3 units we represent.  

On Thursday, December 6, 2018, the parties met and exchanged several counters. We bargained intensely, and the Company provided some data that we questioned. This bargaining has been made even more difficult by the fact that the Company has provided information and data that is inaccurate or incomplete. The Company apologized to CWA for the inadequate responses to our information requests. The Company rejected all 7 proposals that CWA made.

Bargaining Update for days: 12-3-2018 12-4-2018

The last two days have been pretty active with both sides making some movement on the smaller issues. Unfortunately, there has been little movement on the major sticking points like Term pay, Severance pay, Average pay, Vacation, Sick and PPT days.
We have submitted counter proposals and are waiting on the companies response.

There will be call this Wednesday 11/28/2018 at 7pm to briefly talk about this status of this round of CWA/DEX-YP bargaining. ONLY members will be permitted on the call.

The Company grew frustrated and indicated they are seeking a contract this week. Two thoughts, District 3 has only been bargaining for less than three weeks collectively. 2nd CWA again expressed receiving incorrect data was disrespectful and intentional. There is no way CWA would/could bargain without the correct data. The company presented their Last best Offer for full settlement. We are still so far apart on accepting this offer. All of their proposals are retrogressive.

I am pleased to announce that the TA has passed
