CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

March 23, 2017 – Bargaining Report #31

As negotiations continue, the Union stresses the improvements we need in

the contract. We have had extensive discussions around career paths and

employee development. We also continue pushing for a fair and lucrative

commission plan. You deserve a commission plan that is easy to understand with achievable goals and allows you to earn a fair wage. We

have received numerous calls, from around the country, about the Ultimate

Prospector Tool.

We have verified with the company bargaining team that

this tool is completely voluntary and any calls or procedures associated

with it are optional. We also continue discussions around safety which is an area where dialogue remains positive and some movement has been made. However, we cannot stress enough that we remain very far apart. We appreciate your continued support and mobilization.

Stay Strong Brothers and Sisters!!

In Solidarity,
