Fidium (Consolidated) Bargaining Update #10

The Union and Company have come to terms on a tentative agreement. There will be more details to follow but some highlights include: 

• 4 year term 
• 3% wage increase for all 4 years 
• Insurance cost shares frozen at current rates of  28% PPO and 6% HDP for the life of the agreement. 
• Increase in yearly performance bonuses.  

Again, more details to follow. We are also working on a schedule to have explanation meetings in both Lufkin and Conroe next week to cover the entirety of the new CBA. 

Special thanks to Union Bargaining team members President Belinda Davis and VP Travis Phillips for the exceptional work they did during the last month at the table. Also, a personal 'Thank You' to Cindy Maldonado and Assistant to the VP Billy Moffett from the CWA District Office for helping get us to the finish line.
