CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

June 15, 2017 – Bargaining Report #48

The Union has spent this week reviewing data received from AT&T as well as all the

information we have received from members highlighting the ongoing issues of

wrongdoing by management. AT&T continues to get caught trying to make illegal

changes to policies, scheduling illegal mandatory meetings and instructing managers to

intimidate employees. The Union, with the help and support of the membership, are

catching these improper activities and responding with grievances, mobilization and

board charges.

The Company canceled the meetings we had scheduled this week and appears to have

focused their time on making changes in their upper management structure.

We know the slow nature of this round of bargaining is frustrating to some members, but

we will not rush this contract. We will bargain as long as it takes to get a fair and

equitable contract regardless of the stall tactics and attempted intimidation by the

Company. Stay strong, stay mobilized and stay angry. Keep in touch with your Local

for mobilization activities. When we fight, we WIN!

Stay strong Brothers and Sisters!!

In Solidarity,
