CenturyLink Central Arkansas Local 6171 Bargaining Report #14

The two committees met to discuss the proposals and the word for the day was REJECT! The Union tried to show some movement in order to get the Company to come off of the retrogressive language previously passed, but the Company?s chair stated that he understood our position, but never showed any inclination that there would be movement on their end.

Protect the Rights of Public Safety Officers

Public safety workers protect us and are there for our communities when we need them most. These hard working and dedicated men and women deserve to have their voices heard on the job. Unfortunately, only 25 states fully protect the right of state and local public safety officers to collectively bargain. This oversight in this country's fundamental collective bargaining laws can be addressed through Congressional passage of the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act. This bill already passed the House and in the Senate it has six Republican co-sponsors. The only real obstacle it faces is whether a few or even one obstructionist Senator successfully manipulates the Senate rules to prevent the bill from being discussed. Don't let this happen.
