Do you think the company should be able to recoup their CP training and deployment expenses from the CWA when considering the increase of Union benefits for a new Contract?

Yes!! If I offer you $100 and then you cause me to lose $20, my new offer becomes $80, at most. I did not renege. You changed the dynamics of the original offer through your subsequent behavior. Actions have consequences.
The longer we stay out, the less the company will concede. That tells the story right there. We have likely missed the opportunity to get the most out of these negotiations. Not to mention going another week or two without pay will eat into any raise we get.
Anyone that believes they don’t is in denial. It is absolutely factored in.
Gotta love Aunt Nellie and her grammar checks. Loads of fun at the holidays, she is always correcting everyone because she is so perfect, what a Karen.
All of this could have been worse without a mandated injection and subsequent boosters
Absolutely!
“ A broken clock is right twice a day. There, fixed it for ya. You seem to do better with copy-n-paste. Maybe stick to that skill level.
That’s the best you can do out of a long post detailing company bad faith bargaining? You really got that poster because they forgot or predictive typing removed “broken”. Whoa, you are so smart and showed him/her. Everyone should just forget the content of the post because you spotted an error or two, company sycophants win again. 😂😂

No. Cost of doing business
ULP by the company for reneging on agreed proposal elements, calling employees “second class”, walking away from the bargaining table, unauthorized company representatives unable to sign off or furnish information on proposals, contacting employees directly with text asking them to “urge CWA to let you vote on it” (AT&T final offer) which, per Stankey’s recent statement it wasn’t the “final offer” another example of bad faith bargaining. Waiting on the AT&T final, final best offer.
Case Number: 10-CA-347889
Filed CWA allegations:
8(a)(5) Refusal to Furnish Information
8(a)(5) Repudiation/Modification of Contract [Sec 8(d)/Unilateral Changes]
8(a)(5) Refusal to Bargain/Bad Faith Bargaining (incl'g surface bargaining/direct dealing)
ULP charges are filed, being investigated by the NLRB General Counsel and a ruling will be forthcoming. Low bar to meet, the company trolls are trying scare tactics that haven’t worked for nearly a month now. Keep trying maybe some speculation will eventually land, a clock is right twice a day.
"False allegations of ULP should carry a hefty price tag"
I was thinking along that line as well. What happens after it is determined to be nothing more than public slanderous or libelous rhetoric?
More veiled threats by company sycophants, isn’t that a ULP violation.
False allegations of ULP should carry a hefty price tag.
It is probably factored in. Employees have a right to collective bargaining. That comes at a cost when bargaining is conducted irresponsibly by the Union.
