CWA District 2-13 reaches dual agreements with Comcast

Members of CWA District 2-13’s bargaining teams negotiated two contracts with Comcast, a telecommunications and media conglomerate.

The Alle-Kiski group (CWA Local 13000), comprised mainly of line maintenance and service technicians, has been at the bargaining table since late April last year. In March, the two sides reached an agreement, which has since been ratified. This agreement comes after workers successfully defeated a decertification campaign, won with overwhelming support to retain CWA as their union representative. The bargaining team fought tenaciously not only to maintain job security and wages but also to improve on both. They also won improvements to working conditions. The new agreement comes with full retroactivity dating back to May 2023.

The South Hills group (also CWA Local 13000) similarly defended itself against an aggressive decertification campaign. The workers in this group are mostly maintenance workers and service technicians. The bargaining team won an extension in November and finally reached an agreement in March. As with the Alle-Kiski group, workers won better job security, improved wages, and safer working conditions. Workers are also leaving the table having won yearly general wage increases, improved wage progression for new hires, increased schedule flexibility, and a ratification bonus. The agreement was ratified on March 27 and will also be retroactive.
