Constructive conversations were held on various issues this week, and we can report that we had more good discussions with the Company than we have had since the inception of bargaining.  While we are still far apart on important items, your mobilization efforts seem to be resonating with the Company and brought them to the table to bargain.  It’s the pressure from you that forces movement at the table.

From informational picketing to Valentine’s Day-themed mobilizations, CWA members under the AT&T Orange Mobility contract are engaged, organized, and unified.

The Orange Bargaining Committee was surprised to see the fake news in AT&T’s last bargaining report. Apparently, AT&T thinks refusing to bargain at the table and putting their cheap, insulting proposals in reports will get us to a deal! Your elected bargainers from Districts 1, 2-13, 4, 7, and 9 have put forth your demands, and although we have emphasized the items that are important to you, they remain unaddressed. Tell your boss you demand better treatment.

The Orange Bargaining Committee and AT&T have been meeting continuously during this past week’s extension, yet we have not been able to reach a deal.  Both parties have agreed to a two-week contract extension to continue bargaining. There are many important items which you have told us must be addressed that AT&T continues to ignore.  The contract remains in place until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, Friday, March 6th.

The Orange Bargaining Committee and AT&T continue bargaining under the contract extension. Unfortunately, the Company thinks that raises that barely outpace inflation are good enough for you. They have offered no significant improvements in working conditions, scheduling, commissions or a host of other issues.
