Regional Bargaining Report # 12
IBEW NY/NE and CWA District 1
Tuesday, July 14, 2015
IBEW New England, CWA District 1 and IBEW Local 2213 Regional Bargaining Committees met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, New York.
We met in the morning and afternoon and handed more Union proposals highlighted by a comprehensive proposal on call sharing which would assure all calls would be handled by a CWA or IBEW union member.
Locals are in the process of conducting a Strike authorization Vote. The Vote for Local 2325 will end on Wednesday the 15th with a New England wide tally set for Friday. If you have not voted then you may do so at the Union Office in Worcester. We need to send the Company a strong message that we will do whatever it takes to achieve a fair and just contract.
Reminder…There will be a contract rally on Saturday July 25, at 140 West Street at 11 am. IBEW Local 2325 will provide free bus transportation for members who would like to attend. Please call the Union Office to register.
There will be a preparation meeting for Stewards and designated Picket Captains on Wednesday at 6 pm at the Hall. It is important that Stewards and Captains attend this meeting. Please make every attempt.
We need to show this Company that we are United and ready to Fight for a FAIR CONTRACT!!! 16 days left…HANG TOUGH
Fraternally,
Dave Keating
Business Manager
