OFS Barganining Report #2
OFS Bargaining
May 19, 2016
Brothers and Sisters,
We met with the company again today and took turns rejecting each other's proposals. Their latest retrogressive proposals included raising the double time threshold from eight to twelve hours, prorating retiree vacation payouts, and forcing us to use our own vacation time for company imposed shutdowns.
The company stated, on the record today, that they will not even consider offering us any additional time off. If they are not willing to add any flexibility to our agreement than they better be willing to offer us improvements financially. That being said, we will be presented with their healthcare presentation tomorrow.
We helped them when they needed it and now its time they return back what we earned!
Stay mobilized! We must fight both at home and at the table!
Your Bargaining Team,
Isa Shabazz, Staff Telecommunications, & Technologies
James Brown, EVP Local 3263
Keri Evinson, EVP Local 1400
Chris Lapierre, DVP 1400
