CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

March 2, 2017 – Bargaining Report #21

Bargaining resumed today, and the Company continued their appalling

behavior. The Bargaining team reiterated that our members need better

benefits, wages, working conditions and job security. We pointed out that

our concerns are more important than ever because the Company, despite

their huge profits, still wants to outsource and downsize good union jobs.

The Bargaining Team told them we will continue bargaining as long as it

takes to get the contract you deserve.

Other than a brief demonstration of the Cricket commission plan, the

Company had no proposals for the Union today and did not respond to any

of the multiple proposals we passed yesterday. Bargaining will resume

tomorrow. We need all our members unified and mobilized to let the

company know we will not accept less than we deserve!!

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!
