CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

March 1, 2017 – Bargaining Report #20

The Bargaining team met with the Company today for an extended period. First, we put on a presentation on commissions and how they have been diminished even as AT&T’s profits soar. The presentation was met with silence that spoke volumes. The Company couldn’t figure out a way to justify their greed, so they said nothing. The Union also made proposals for improved monitoring language for Call Center and Retail workers.

Several proposals were made by the Union for title/pay upgrades to make sure that our members who are being asked to do more are compensated for it.

The Company took all our information and proposals and had nothing new to offer us. The Company continues to stall, delay and make no meaningful movement at the table. We need our members to stay mobilized and let the company know we will keep fighting until we get a fair contract.

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!
