Regional Bargaining Report # 7
July 1, 2015
IBEW NY/NE and CWA DISTRICT 1
The IBEW System Council T6 and CWA District 1 Regional Bargaining Committees met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, NY.
In the morning session we were given a presentation on the utilization of the Medical and Prescription plans. We received some data from the Company pertaining to healthcare and continued our questioning on the topic.
We met again in the afternoon and continued our discussion on healthcare utilization. At this time the bargaining team requested more information specifically on prescription drugs and compound drugs.
This evening we had another session where we exchanged additional proposals with the Company.
Local New England bargaining also continued this afternoon and this evening. The Company has passed a few proposals and the local bargaining committee continues to pass proposals and request data. The Local bargaining team will meet in the morning to continue discussions.
Regional Bargaining will also resume tomorrow morning.
We need every member to make plans to attend the July 25th, 2015 rally at Verizon Headquarters at 140 West Street in NY City. The Rally will begin at 11 am.
We will have buses leaving from the Park and Ride in Millbury. If you are interested in going by bus then please call the Union Office and speak to Keith.
In Unity and Strength we will succeed…..
Fraternally,
Dave Keating
