Hopefully the D3 TA gets ratified quickly.
This has caused enough disruption in all of our lives.
CWA District 6
I’m happy that District 3 and 9 actually worked hard for their union members. District 6 is a joke and is weak. I am so ashamed to be part of D6.
What a weekend.
The sad part is there was probably some huge bonus to people way higher that the affected craft employees, CP employees, lower management, and customers if they got DirecTV and both District TAs done by 9/15.
TAs in BOTH District 3 & District 9 Reached

Data insights after strike
Would be interesting to see what insights will/might be gained after the strike is over. Probably not much from a tech standpoint as the newbie strike Mgrs don’t have a clue for the most part. However systems are another issue especially automation... — read more
TA?
What are the deets?
Any bargaining this weekend?
Why is it so quiet? I heard rumors we were close enough to return Monday and then now zero communication this weekend. Did they take the weekend off?
The CWA of the past is not qualified to represent the CWA of the future.
Yeah, I stole it from another poster, but their statement speaks truth to power.
Layoff Wave 2 Complete?
I know some were just informed on Sept. 9th, two weeks and they are gone. When is wave 3 starting? Will that be the last one or has another wave been announced yet? Maybe in the upcoming town-hall we will get more answers. I’m tired of being... — read more
10%
If the strike lasts through the week folks will have lost 10% of this year’s income. That’s hard to make up.
D3 ego hurt
The poor union folks were promised unrealistic expectations by their negotiators and now the negotiators are struggling with their ego to even present the best offer to membership. So instead they will keep saying ULP when in reality they just over... — read more
West isn’t walking. D3 Mismanaged this situation.
West is still working getting paid. D3 should’ve done the same. Negotiated while working. Last report is identical to the first one. There has been no progress made for 31 days.

BS strike posts
The Mgrs aren’t covering the work and it will manifest itself on the bottom line, and every person on strike isn’t having grilled ribeye for lunch. Both sides are hurting. Know some Union folks who said they will be making a hard decision this... — read more
