Bulletin #26
NABET-CWA and ABC, Inc.negotiators are meeting in Washington, DC this week. Following the session on January 10th, the Union’s bargaining committee was made aware of a letter dated January 6, 2012 sent from ABC management to the homes of NABET-CWA staff employees. In that letter ABC states, “…the Company remains prepared to agree now to the maximum pension accrual rate for 2008-2010 and also for 2011.”
We are pleased that in its January 6, 2012, letter to Staff employees, ABC has agreed with NABET-CWA’s position that the pension accrual rate for 2008-2010 is 1.80%, and has further agreed to the Union’s proposal that the accrual rate for 2011 is 1.80%. We are satisfied that this issue is resolved.
Other components of the Master Agreement are still being negotiated between the parties. We will keep you updated as those issues are resolved.
The Union Bargaining Committee reminds all members to ignore rumors. All official negotiation and mobilization information will be delivered on the Sector website (www.nabetcwa.org), on Local websites, hotlines, and e-mail lists.
