Re: Continuous Bargaining Report

 The Continuous Bargaining session for 2006 concluded on Friday October 27 with a tentative agreement reached covering the following items: 

1.     Major Account Representatives will maintain their current base salary for 2007.

2.     Non billing accounts sold by a MAR above the MAR threshold will remain in the MAR channel.

3.     Sophomore advertisers above $200 will become part of CMAP. Non pay will go to collections.

4.     Changes in subsequent market assignment language to distribute service equitably, apply individual service closure requirement, change the per cents from 20 and 10 to-- 30 and 15 and change the calculation for a rep’s share of the non billing accounts from a percent of total accounts sold to a percent of the non billing accounts sold.  Also added provision for untouched advertiser market to be distributed equally to all reps in a campaign.

5.     Added a new component to the DTSR compensation plan to also pay a Customer Growth Premium for positive ad base growth in a canvass. This is over and above the current commission plan.

6.     No charge back of internet products that disconnect and the Company has collected 2 months billing.

7.     The bankruptcy  policy of adjusting BOTS will also apply to INET only accounts when the item has been pulled down prior to the first sales day of the campaign.
