CWA Members Ratify New Contract with Avaya
After months of fighting, CWA members working for Avaya announced in May that they had successfully negotiated a new contract and ratified it with overwhelming approval. Since December 2023, members have been working under terms unilaterally imposed by the company. This new, 3-year contract will ensure stronger protections for workers, improved benefits, and economic gains.
A few highlights of the contract include a ratification bonus, 100% coverage by the company of annual premiums under the medical plan, stronger pension protections, and an annual incentive bonus.
“This victory is a testament to the solidarity and determination of our members,” said CWA Telecommunications and Technologies Vice President Lisa Bolton, speaking about the bargaining process. “We thank everyone who stood together during a challenging period and helped secure this fair and comprehensive agreement.”
Special thanks to Staff Representative Brian Sawyer, CWA Local 6016 Vice President Sandra Strain, and CWA Local 6215 Chief Steward Richard Chittenden, who negotiated the contract.
