The grievance ATTMC-3871-102024-11 (bidding time grievance for schedules) has been rescheduled for 4/2/2025 on site at the call center. The Union has learned that grievance ATTMC-3871-Local-72024-SDP (mail order grievance) cannot be processed through the grievance procedure as detailed in the CBA. An open discussion was held on how to proceed informally if agreeable by the Company. Grievance ATTMC-3871-092024-LOA3 (coaching on calls) will be met on this week at the informal level. The charge against the Company for bargaining notes has been closed by the NLRB. The Union will be gathering all data for each open seniority grievance and assigning those to be met on as soon as possible.

 

Brightspeed- The AVP for Brightspeed will get a new hire orientation set for all employees who were unable to attend one with the Union. Open discussions were held with regard to recent safety concerns which membership feels is currently being addressed with a 3-hour safety meeting scheduled over the next two weeks by the Company. Safety and a six-day work week were also discussed, and membership has asked that the Union wait on any data request or assistance at this time.
