AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #34

Unfortunately, there is not a lot to report today other than some high-level communications both internally at CWA and between CWA and the Company. While the latest Company wage proposals are laughably inadequate, we are also dealing with a huge gap between our vision and theirs of how the benefits package needs to be structured to reach an agreement. The Company believes we should contribute a higher percentage of the cost than we are willing to accept. D3 leadership has put the Company on notice that we are here to bargain a fair contract for our members, including higher wages and better benefits, and the Company’s math isn’t working for us or our members. It remains as important as ever to stay mobilized, continue wearing your colors and keep up the informational pickets! Techs should put CWA or red shirts on their truck seats and members in the Consumer/Small Business organizations should put a CWA or red shirt over their desk chairs. Let’s show the Company that we are ready for whatever may come and are willing to Fight for More in 24!
