What copay do we have if there is no generic drug available?
The bargaining team said that we will still have to pay the formulary or non- formulary co-pay even though there is no generic drug available. Back to Top
Why is there a 9 after the number on my telephone display at work?
We were told this could mean that the call is being monitored. If you see this let your steward know. we do not know at this time if this is true. Back to Top
How long do I have to update my profile for a job req?
Members have 48 working hours (6 days) before the req closes to update their profile . Req are only posted for 7 days so, that's what so important about updating your profile. Please update your profile prior to nominating for a JOB req. so, you don't lose out. Back to Top
Why am I so far down on the list of candidates for this job in Illinois if I have all the skills?
The reason is that this is an IBEW Req in Illinois and IBEW members get more points than CWA members . Just like CWA members get more points than IBEW members when they nominate for a CWA job. Back to Top
Is there a pension band increase in 2007 or 2008 or 2009?

How do I retire with this years GATT rate and next years Vacation [if so desired]?

How does the new Pension Protection Law impact our lump sums at SBC?
According to legal advice from our research dept; the new law should not impact us because our contract specifically states that our lump sums are calculated using the GATT rate and the GATT rate will continue to be published. [Page 283 & 291] Back to Top
