CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

April 19, 2017 – Bargaining Report #38

For the first time in a while, bargaining had some positive dialogue. The

Call Centers are a high stress work environment, and we will do whatever it

takes to make improvements. We met in a sub-committee to address call

center issues including call flow, monitoring and schedules. There were

also more general discussions for all groups about title upgrades,

commissions, transfers, absence and sick time. While we remain far apart,

we are optimistic about today’s meetings.

The Bargaining Team is sure the positive changes are a result of the

mobilization activities of the membership. The Company hears you loud

and clear, and they know we are more unified than ever before. Keep up

the fight and together we will win!

Stay strong Brothers and Sisters!!

In Solidarity,
