CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

March 5, 2017 – Bargaining Report #23

The Union and Company resumed bargaining today and again the dialogue

was productive. While we must stress that we remain extremely far apart,

the last couple days have been encouraging. The Union continued to

outline several job titles which have had responsibilities increased and

deserve upgrades in title and pay.

The Company passed a Benefits proposal which was a small improvement

but something we can build on. They also passed a counter on safety

which is an improvement to the current contract language but still needs

some work.

There is still a very long way to go but, with the continued support of a

mobilized and unified membership, we will get what we deserve!!

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!

In Solidarity,
