CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining March 8, 2017 – Bargaining Report #25 The Bargaining Team and Company met today to discuss a number of outstanding issues. No official proposals were passed by either side, but we clarified many of our previous data requests and the importance of those requests being filled quickly and completely.

Terry, We will accomplish nothing at the bargaining table without each and every one of us taking action for a fair contract at AT&T Mobility. One of us alone is powerless, but with all of us standing side by side, we are powerful. We have to use that power! Our Day of Action in February was huge – thousands of us came out to rallies and informational pickets across the country.

We will be doing “informational picketing” at the Chinatown store 785 7th St. N.W. Washington D.C. 20001, on Saturday March 11, 2017 @ 10:30am – 12:30pm. If you are assigned off, please come out and mobilize. If you can come before your tour please do so. We have to show the Company that we’re serious about our jobs, and about bargaining.
