CWA Local 13101 11-6-19  hotline update;

Verizon bargaining unit;

There was a recent arbitration decision found in Verizon’s favor regarding the last section of 5G placement. The arbitrator ruled that the work can be given to contractors and that even the placement of a rate demarcation point was unnecessary. 

There are grievances regarding the assignment of work as well as the inability of management being able to follow call out procedures. 

There seems to be a new issue within labor relations not honoring long standing agreements in Delaware. This is a fight that has no end in sight due to their inability to understand that a process in place for decades without a written formal agreement can still be honored. The new attitude is for this local to show documents etc, when we are well aware that the working environment in Delaware was one where a handshake could work until now… 

VCS bargaining unit;

The problematic “no light” issue is being worked on through the grievance procedure and this local is working diligently to provide a resolution to this unnecessary issue.

Delaware State Police  Civilians bargaining unit;

The local has successfully achieved an agreement in principle for a new pay grade 15 position to be filled by an internal candidate, and the subsequent opening created by that promotion will be back filled with a new hire. 

There will be a formal agreement signed describing the above notice.

DHSS bargaining unit;

There will be a case load call to correct the compliance issue with case load assignment  as outlined in the CBA. The variance of 20% in assignment load will be back in place promptly.

Kent County Public Works bargaining unit;

The CBA set to expire on 12/31/19 and negotiations are set to formally begin on November 8th in Dover.

The bargaining team will provide updates with as much information as possible during negotiations. The bargaining team has completed compiling data from the information request sent to the county, and has put together a comprehensive package of improvements for our members here.
