SEIU-CWA Bargaining Report - April 3, 2024

CWA 9423 Bargaining Update - 4/3/24

CWA Brothers & Sisters,

On Wednesday, April 3rd, CWA and SEIU 521 had a bargaining session and we had an in-depth conversation with management regarding the rising cost of healthcare. Unfortunately, they still did not have a proposal for us on healthcare, so we don’t have anything concrete to share at this time.

Management was not prepared to share responses on our economic proposals today but has stated they should have them ready to pass across the table by our next two sessions, April 11th & 12th.
