Bargaining resumed at 10:00 am on Wednesday May 8th.
The Union has requested and the Company has agreed to bring in a federal mediator.
Talks are currently recessed until Tuesday, May 14 when they will restart with the assistance of a mediator.
One of the conditions of mediation is that there will be a media and social media blackout while the parties are in mediation. This means that another bargaining report will not be posted nor will there be another bargaining conference call scheduled until this process is completed. The call that was scheduled for 
Thursday, May 16th is cancelled.
The contract is now extended through Saturday, May 18, 2013.
We are continuing to work under the existing contract on a day to day basis.
Workers remain on the job as long as the extension is in effect. 
As the above report states, no reports will be online at http://www.cwadistrict7.org

Colleagues,
The pressure is building!   More CWA and IBEW contracts with CenturyLink are stacking up behind us around the county.
Now the company has the gaul to ask you to help them secure commercial property tax breaks here in Iowa while they are proposing cuts to your wages and benefits! In addition, if that proposed tax break legislation passes, guess who will pick up the difference -- that's right you and all the other Iowans!
I know, you know what to do. 
As you are aware, the CenturyLink Shareholders meeting is tomorrow May 22, 2013, in Monroe, LA
Attached is a flyer for you to share with with your family and friends -- even the general public.
Keep it up!
In Unity,
Francis Giunta

CWA CenturyLink Contract Bargaining 2012
NOW you say you want bargaining updates.
CWA District 7 sent out cards to union members to fill out with their personal email and cell phone number. 
If they filled them out and turned them in, they should have gotten the login and password so when notified they can login to the D7 site to get the updates at http://www.cwadistrict7.org/
If you are a CWA union member and didn't get your login... contact the local CWA office in the links above.
Retired members in the CWA/RMC Retiree Chapters may contact their local president for the login and password.
Why is this so difficult...
We are not allowed to post any updates on the website. Due to the injunction with Qwest had us under we can not post any public information. That's why the district set it up on their site and we have the user name and password for members. This is like voter ID restrictions you see in many states, you have to be smarter and work a little harder than the other side.
