Avaya Bargaining Report #6

Greetings:

Today the company presented two proposals across the table.


The first proposal would increase the Avaya Award Target amount

by 1% each year, but change the language to have the components

that are measured to be at the discretion of the company each

year.


The second proposal addressed the Academic Award program for the

next agreement.


The Unions are reviewing the proposals and will respond at the

appropriate time.


The next formal meeting is scheduled for tomorrow at 10: AM. The

company will have proposals on Disability Plans and the ERC &

Health Care Coordinators. In addition we will have sub-committee

discussions on the RFE field work.


Your bargaining committee will be working on proposals and

counter proposals to respond to the company demands.
