CWA Members at Comcast Corliss Ratify Strong New Contract

Last month, CWA members at Comcast Corliss (CWA Local 13000) voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying a new contract with the company. The three-year contract includes base wage adjustments, annual wage increases, limitations on mandatory summer overtime, and increased training opportunities.

The bargaining team worked daily for eight months, whether at the table or in team meetings, to secure a fair contract. The biggest fights were over wages, flexibility in scheduling, and mandatory overtime, particularly during late summer and early fall.

Members, despite many of them working remotely, found unique ways to support their bargaining team, including unified responses to company surveys, holding local management accountable for any deviations from the norm, and voicing their dissatisfaction with management’s pace of negotiations. These efforts maintained pressure on the company and helped bring home the win.

“None of our successes during this round of bargaining would have been possible without the consistent support and solidarity of the membership in the Comcast Corliss Unit,” said CWA District 2-13 Staff Representative and Bargaining Team Lead Jon Remington.
