CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

February 06, 2017 – Bargaining Report #12

The Union and company resumed bargaining today with both sides having

multiple clarifying questions. As stated in the last bargaining report, the

Union passed language last Saturday on multiple major issues. The

company, as expected, had multiple questions about our proposals. Our

proposals are fair and reasonable but the company is too greedy to accept

anything that would help our members, their employees.

The Union had many questions after reviewing data the company provided

related to the technicians and call centers. The company has trouble

providing information when it’s to improve working conditions for their

employees but no trouble when it’s used for discipline or negative impacts.

We still have outstanding data requests for retail, network and call center

workers. Stay mobilized and stay angry!! Bargaining resumes tomorrow.

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!

In Solidarity,
