Windstream Bargaining Report #16

CWA and Windstream were not able to reach a tentative agreement on a new contract by the expiration date of February 28, 2011. The parties signed an extension of the existing contract that can be cancelled by either party with forty-eight hours notice. CWA remains committed to reaching an agreement that is fair and equitable for our members.

CWA will be rolling out some mobilization efforts and we need all members to participate and actively support the Bargaining Committee. Details to follow at a later date. Continue to wear red on Thursday and black on Friday.

Stay strong and united. Talk to a non-member and ask them to sign a card and join our fight for a new contract.

CWA Local 6171 Bargaining Committee
