ADT Bargaining Report #2 - August 8, 2024

ADT Bargaining Report #2

August 8th 2024 

Friends & Union Family at ADT,
 
We have now had four bargaining sessions with Florida-based ADT Labor Relations Director James Nixdorf. As we described in our previous report we have already come to a tentative agreement on the bulk of a three-year contract. This contract will bring many improvements including:
  • Overtime pay (time and a half) after 8 hours a day as well as after 40 hours a week
  • Paid Holidays and Floating Holidays 
  • Paid and Excused Sick Time (Separate from Vacation Time) - based on the new MN ESST law language
  • Seniority Protections and Severance Pay 
  • A Grievance and Arbitration Process
The Union Bargaining Team also discovered a company error in the Spring merit-pay that negatively-impacted two employees. Two workers did not receive the full Merit raise that the company had offered and the Union approved. We brought this to Nixdorf's attention immediately, and today he confirmed the error and will be rectifying it soon. (The two techs have been contacted by the Union).

This leaves only the Wage Schedule minimums to bargain. These discussions have been difficult. The company values maximum flexibility with their alternative compensation programs and so have little interest in negotiating raises to the minimum pay rates.
 
At times the bargaining has been extremely frustrating. Mr. Nixdorf is in denial about the high turn-over among ADT Techs, and has been unwilling to admit that wages are a key issue in that turn-over. While the company has now moved their numbers up about 6% from their original offer - they are still far from meeting the Union's proposals.
 
In order to get what we need and deserve, we need to get ADT workers more involved in showing our UNITY & DETERMINATION. The company needs to understand that we are serious about getting a strong deal. 
 
Please join us at the ADT warehouse parking lot on Tuesday morning August 13th at 7:00am to get information, get some union gear, and take a unity photo together. 
 
And on Wednesday morning, August 14th please join your Steward Jesse Selin sending a message to ADT management at the company breakfast.

ADT Bargaining Report #1 - July 10 2024

ADT Bargaining Report #1
July 10 2024

To All ADT Techs -
 
Brothers and Sisters, today, July 10th, the Union and the company will meet to negotiate wages. The Union will put forward demands for wage increases and regular raises that meet the hard work and skill that you bring to the job, and for the market in which you apply them. The company has been getting away with substandard wages for way too long.
 
Most of the rest of the contract has been tentatively agreed to already (based on the CWA-ADT collective bargaining agreement in Salt Lake City).
 
These tentative agreements represent real gains for all ADT Techs in the Twin Cities, including 
  • Overtime (time and a half) after 8 hours a day as well as after 40 hours a week
  • Paid Holidays and Floating Holidays 
  • Paid and Excused Sick Time (Separate from Vacation Time)
  • Seniority Protections and Severance Pay 
  • A Grievance and Arbitration Process
The agreement for the Twin Cities, when ready, will not be final until YOU and your co-workers vote to approve it.

Rove Pest Control Bargaining Report #34

skelly PC


After what feels like a lifetime of meetings, debates, and more coffee than any human should consume, we've finally reached a point where we can focus on key issues. After our members turned out in force, demonstrating their commitment to the cause and making it clear that we won't back down.

Discussion regarding paid time off was had making it clear that our members aren't robots who can run endlessly without a break.

Working from home started as a simple request for flexibility turned into a full-blown debate about productivity, accountability, and whether you need home insurance or not.

While the company initially offered a benefits package that was as bare as a skeleton, we’ve managed to put some meat on those bones.

In conclusion, while the process has been long and, at times, more frustrating than trying to untangle last year’s Christmas lights, we’ve made significant progress. These agreements mark significant progress, but the fight isn’t over. We’ll keep pushing forward until every member gets the respect and compensation they deserve.
