CWA - Avaya Bargaining Report |

May 28, 2006-12:00 P.M. The Unions met with Avaya this morning at 9:00am. The company rejected several Union proposals, including our counter proposal to their Active and Retiree Healthcare proposal. They passed a new company proposal on Active and Retiree healthcare, and Dental. The proposal barely changed from their previous one.
Over the next three years their proposal would cost our members and retirees thousands of additional dollars in increased co-pays, deductions, and enrollment fees. Avaya seems less and less interested in reaching an agreement as the hours go by. The clock remains stopped and will not be restarted until all three parties agree (CWA, IBEW, and Avaya). This means that the current collective bargaining agreement remains in effect and will continue to do so until the clock starts again. Updates will be sent as things change during the day.
