AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #63

AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #63

Today, our bargaining team hosted a zoom meeting with the CWA District 3 Local Presidents to update them on the status of bargaining.  After that meeting, our team returned to the bargaining table to meet with AT&T's representatives.  Much of the afternoon has been devoted to preparing proposals, analyzing different wage and healthcare scenarios, and determining what the overall economic package will need to look like in order to meet the needs of our members in all the different job titles.  We were disappointed in AT&T to say the least, when we saw the propaganda the company distributed this morning concerning their so-called final offer, that's not really a final offer.  It really is a sad thing to witness a company that was once a defining American institution, stoop to the level of distributing propaganda littered with half-truths in order to mislead their own employees.  Thankfully, we know that CWA members throughout District 3 are too smart to fall for their tricks.  We have attached a document that exposes the truth concerning the company's final offer compared to the healthcare proposal that CWA has on the bargaining table as of today.  We have also included a link here: http://cwa.org/proposal.  Our bargaining team looks forward to speaking with all of you later tonight on the CWA / AT&T Southeast Bargaining town hall conference call.
