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.

While the tone at the table remains positive, we remain far apart. There is a lot of work to do. We continue to get information from our members across the country about AT&T looking to downsize, contract work, outsource jobs and otherwise engage in anti-union behavior. The mobilized and unified membership’s involvement has been a key factor in the tone change. This is a long, slow process, that can be frustrating to everyone involved and we are so excited by the membership involvement we see at rallies, picketing and on social media. Keep up the fight, and with your support, we will WIN!!

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!
