I would like to update everybody on the status of the negotiations. We have gotten very close and now are trying to answer the last couple of issues. This is where it has really bogged down. We are waiting on the Company’s assessment of different pension options. We have resolved most of the issues and feel confident that we can reach a settlement before the September 10th deadline for the court hearing. In the event that we reach an agreement, there will be a ratification vote by the members. The court hearing will be postponed pending the ratification vote.
Sincerely James Root, President Local 3641
 
Today in the management conference call the managers were told progress has been made in the CWA negotiations.

please pass the xanax and a bottle please, or is that a bottle of xanax...God speed to both sides...hopefully we'll get something to vote on...[:p]
 
Mr. Root-For those employees on furlough status...how will their vote be counted? Will a vote be valid if taken after the 9/10 deadline? In Solidarity...

Hour many CSS's are we lookink at per agent--10???

[:blackeye:] Florida-seasonal-Mesa-13.01-soldout-what next??
 
Just a quick note to my CWA friends - hang in there, now that we rampers accepted the plateful of dung they served us (I voted NO) there will be more left on the table for you, hopefully some job security - we got zilch. Take care, be unified and win the good fight!

P.S. - hello to my old friend Ellis Ryan!
