AVAYA NEWS
Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 2:40 PM To: COMTECH COMTECH Subject: Avaya Tentative Agreement Reached To all Avaya Local Presidents: CWA bargainers, under the direction of Chair Bill Bates, have reached agreement with Avaya. Avaya representatives came to the table speaking from one side of their mouths requesting unprecedented concessionary demands, and speaking from the other side wanting to bargain a fair contract. As Bargaining progressed, it became increasingly clear to the team that hard decisions would be necessary to bring home an agreement that would meet submitted demands from the membership and, at the same time, protect health care benefits for present and former CWA represented employees. Ongoing mobilization from the Call Centers provided the backing needed to the bargaining team and sent a message to Avaya of that support. Thank you, Call Centers, from the entire bargaining team. Highlights of the Agreement: Continuation of Alliance Funding Certification program reduction to offset health care costs (6 months payment suspension) 401K (1 year suspension of match to offset health care costs) Job security for all titles – no layoffs for 9 months Active medical health care benefits – no premiums, no deductible. Retiree medical health care benefits ($15M added to VEBA to offset subsequent years' costs) same as active Improved safety language (paid rest time after unusually long work periods) Improved funeral leave Improved travel allowances Article 16 GPS language letter Voluntary unpaid excused work week (VUEWW) Wage increase: First year lump sum of $1250; second year 2.75%; third year 2.75% Title upgrade – CSAC to CCR Pension increase for active: first year 4%; also reduction of age calculator to age 63 for lump sum. Continuation of Avaya Award Term pay retention Coordinator retention Further detailed information will be posted on the CWA web site in the near future. In Unity, Bill Bates, CWA, Chair Art Frindt, CWA 4340 Kevin Kimber, CWA 6016 Richie Meringolo, CWA 1101 Phil Pennington, CWA 4320

EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT!
Updated
On: Feb 24, 2009 (15:50:00)
Employee Free Choice Campaign
CWA's campaign to get the Employee Free Choice Act passed has hit high gear! Now that we have elected Barack Obama and union-friendly legislators in many key states it is important to remind them what is high priority for union workers! CWA is leading a powerful mobilization effort today to change that by making sure that Congress is ready to move forward on Employee Free Choice Act, a crucial bill that would allow workers to organize free of employer intimidation. It's up to us to make sure this legislation makes it through the United States Senate with strong support. You can make a real difference by calling your Senators right now and urging them to support the Employee Free Choice Act. Senator Mark Warner
B40C Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
phone 202-224-2023
Senator Jim Webb
144 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
phone 202-224-4024
toll free 866-507-1570
And here is an example of what you can say to the person who answers the phone: "Hello, my name is __________ and I am one of the Senator's constituents. I'm calling to ask the Senator to stand with working Americans by supporting the Employee Free Choice Act. This bill will help protect workers' rights and strengthen the middle class. Will the Senator support this legislation?" Please be part of today's mobilization effort. Call your Senators, and then click here to let us know you called: http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/4dS4wAK1wP-S/call This legislation is the single most important way to protect workers from companies who intimidate, mislead, threaten, and even fire their employees during the organizing process. The bill would let workers choose between a vote and a simple majority sign-up system to decide on having union representation in their workplace, and restoring fairness to a system that has been dominated by employers for far too long. This information will be a huge help when CWA activists follow up with Senators in person next year. They'll know exactly how many CWA members have spoken out, and they'll be able to make an even stronger case for the lawmakers to support the Employee Free Choice Act.
