AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #48

The CWA Bargaining Team and the Company both met with the mediator throughout the day today. All day was spent allowing the mediator to meet both teams, get acquainted with the last 2 months’ worth of progress, the issues that have put us in the position that we are currently in, going over the key items that we have at the table and getting educated on the proposals and their importance. We remain optimistic that the mediator will help us gain ground on securing a contract that is acceptable to our members. While we know that everyone has questions and concerns about what is going on, please know that we are working diligently to get the current issues resolved and to get everyone back to work. Please stay strong and keep showing the Company that with the unified members we have, we are here to fight for more!
