CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

February 15, 2017 – Bargaining Report #18

The Union and company remain miles apart on all major issues. The company continues to make greedy and retrogressive demands despite their huge profits. The Union will not accept these demands and the discussions have become more contentious over the last several days. The Union is here to get a fair contract, and with the continued backing of the membership, we will win!

The Union and company agreed today to a brief “cooling-off” period, so we can comb through the piles of data received from the company. We will reconvene within the next two weeks. This is a chance for the membership to ramp up mobilization and show the company when they get back to the table, they need to bargain a fair contract! Thank you for your continued support. Stay mobilized, stay unified and stay ANGRY!!

As we continue to fight for good jobs, please encourage co-workers, family and friends to visit our website: http://goodjobsatt.org/

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!
