September 19, 2022 Frontier Bargaining Report #48 Sisters and Brothers, Today, Monday, September 19, 2022, the committee finished reviewing the atrocious settlement package from Friday. Today we countered a couple of proposals to try and get the table moving. An interesting find about the healthcare was discovered today. BCBS in Texas is in a contract dispute with Texas Health Resources. One of our members received an indication from their doctor that they may be out-of-network on October 1 when they called for an appointment if a deal is not reached between them. Your current IN-NETWORK provider may become your OUT-OF-NETWORK provider and you all know the cost of that in deductibles and OOP Maximums. While we asked the company to find out about this, please be diligent and ask your manager as well. Or ask KING JEFFERY on Yammer. Why has the company not notified anyone of this possibility? All questions for the KING to answer his employees. As you are all aware, this Friday at midnight, the second extension will expire. While the committee has worked diligently in hoping to reach an agreement by then, it may not come to fruition. We believe another extension would still cause this bottleneck of negotiations. At this point, we ask that if you are home dispatch, be prepared to turn in your truck keys and badges after your tour on Friday and have a ride home set up. If you are in the call center, be prepared to unplug your company equipment after your tour and set it by the front door for the company to come pick it up. While things can change at the table in a matter of hours at this point, we can only prepare for our alternative. You should continue to mobilize with the activities we have listed below. Especially the link to send pics of the shoddy contractor work Do not use your company equipment or be on company time when you capture this shoddy work. Also, take pics from the streetside view). The company has 3 contracts across the country that have gone past expiration and it is time we show Union Power. Corporate Greed has to stop!! Contracting has to STOP!! Trying to diminish your benefits has to stop!! https://cwaunion.wufoo.com/forms/frontier-shoddy-contractor-photos/ In Unity, The Bargaining Committee
