CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

June 9, 2017 – Bargaining Report #47

This week has been another week of nothing from AT&T. Other than a brief

meeting earlier in the week to discuss multi-lingual differential, the

Company has shown no interest in getting to a fair and equitable contract.

The Union stands on our demands and will not back down. We are in this

for as long as it takes.

There was an overwhelming response from the members about the

Company trying to change policies and harass people since the strike.

Since the last bargaining report, we have been investigating all the issues

you have brought to us, and we will not let the Company get away with

anything. We are still going over data, looking into pension accruals and

part time benefit costs. We are aware that a long round of bargaining like

this can be frustrating, but we will not rush to get a contract. Mobilization

must continue so the company knows we will fight until we get the contract

we deserve. When we fight, we WIN!

Stay strong Brothers and Sisters!!

In Solidarity,
