Our IBEW bargaining teams met today at both the National and Local tables. Your Union is still awaiting responses from AT&T on several proposals the bargaining teams have made to improve several articles of our existing contract. Because of the lack of progress in addressing improvements to the Prem Tech Job Title, President/Business Manager Ron Kastner has demanded that the Prem Tech issue be moved to the National Bargaining Table. AT&T was put on notice late today by President Kastner that the IBEW stands ready to file bad faith bargaining Unfair Labor Practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board against AT&T unless the documentation and data the IBEW bargaining team has requested on benefits is turned over immediately. Bargaining and our solidarity informational picket actions will resume tomorrow Wednesday June 3rd. A strike vote authorization will be taken at the upcoming June IBEW Local 21 unit meetings. All members are encouraged to attend to get the latest bargaining information from you
