AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #66

AT&T Southeast Bargaining Report #66

We know that everyone has had a long few weeks, but there is no doubt that the last few weeks have been longer for the Company. We have one another to lean on, to build strength from and to encourage one another. The Company has nothing and no one to lean on currently but an untrained workforce that does not seem to know their head from a hole in the ground. The strike of 1983 lasted 22 days, and while we were by no means looking to set a record, no one can deny that OUR Union family has shown that we are stronger than ever as we pass that timeline from 40 years ago. We have proven that we are not here to back down. There is no doubt that we are standing on the right side of history, and we will look back with pride knowing that we took a stand for what is right and good against corporate greed. Keep doing what you are doing, stay strong, and keep holding the line!

Discussions between CWA and the Company have been ongoing throughout the day, and we are prepared for a long and late night of negotiations. The Bargaining Team sends the sincerest thank you to each and every person who has sent texts, pictures, and gifts of encouragement.  It means more than you know for us to see that we have the membership standing with us and having our backs.
