CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
April 28, 2017 – Bargaining Report #39
As you are aware, the Union gave the company 72 hour notice today to
terminate the contract as per the extension agreement. The Union did this
because the Company refused to come to the table and bargain. After
receiving notice, the Company came to the table and we had extensive
conversations, but we remain far apart. AT&T is standing by their greedy
proposals and looking to slash benefits and outsource jobs while they make
over a billion dollars a month. We know many of you will have questions
about the 72-hour notice so here is a link to the FAQ sheet:

72-hours
The Bargaining Team is strengthened by the support and mobilization of
the membership. There were protests at the AT&T shareholders’ meeting
and mobilization events around the country. Let AT&T hear loud and clear
that you demand and deserve a fair contract! Stay unified, mobilized and
angry! When we fight, We WIN!
Stay strong Brothers and Sisters!!
