CWA/AT&T Wireline COVID Vaccination Bargaining Report #3

Today, the CWA Bargaining Committee met with AT&T and rejected the Company’s proposed mandatory vaccination policy for Union represented employees. Our committee further emphasized that CWA supports voluntary vaccination programs and opposes mandatory vaccination as a condition of employment. The Union then introduced a counter proposal which provides incentives to employees who volunteer to be vaccinated, as well as those who have already been vaccinated. The Union's counter proposal also includes a testing option for employees who choose not to be vaccinated.

After going through the counter proposal and answering the Company's questions, the Company stated they would give it further review and consideration. The parties agreed to reconvene negotiations tomorrow morning. Additional updates will be posted as new information becomes available.
