CWA / AT&T 2017 “Orange” Contract Bargaining

March 11, 2017 – Bargaining Report #26

Bargaining resumed today with positive dialogue, and there has been some

movement at the table, but we can’t stress enough that we remain far

apart. We spoke about issues affecting every group today and told the

company we remain committed to the issues our members highlighted as

most important in the bargaining surveys. The Company passed some language in regards to RSC pay treatment for transfers and Network rebalances. The language needs improvement but the Company is clearly hearing our concerns. Mobilization remains a key part of this process and we are strengthened by what you are doing in the field. The Bargaining Team thanks you for the overwhelming participation in activities this past week. Keep up the fight!!

Stay strong Sisters and Brothers!!
