What's New at Local 3176

From: The Executive Board

Subject: Lumen / CenturyLink Standby Arbitration Update

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Currently, the union has no update on the Standby arbitration but we have an estimated time for an answer some time in November. This delay is due to the timeline of the court reporter to provide its report, then both union and company attorneys submit there final briefs on the case, and finally for the arbitrator to review all evidence in the case and write a response.

Once we have received an answer from the arbitrator, we will notify the membership.

If you have any questions, please contact your local steward or reply to this message.

In unity,

The Executive Board

CWA 3176

AT&T News

ATTENTION AT&T UNION MEMBERS: CWA is currently in bargaining with AT&T regarding the webcams. Per the survey we sent out last week, over 90% of you surveyed voiced that you DO NOT want webcams in your homes. The fact that AT&T is already sending out webcams is a labor board violation, called bad faith bargaining. Read More...
