The Union and Company met today to continue bargaining. The Union bargaining team made it clear that we were not going to accept their cost shifting plans and proposals. The Company seems to believe that shifting medical costs to you is a good way to increase profits and line their pockets. The Union also spent a long time outlining the respect and dignity you deserve on the job.

The Union bargaining team met with AT&T again today. The Union expressed serious concerns about benefits, scheduling, training, dispatching and monitoring, among other issues. Your bargaining team has and will continue filing information requests to better address these issues.

The Orange Contract Bargaining Committee met with AT&T to kick off bargaining a new agreement that will cover all members in the Orange Contract footprint. Every member of your bargaining committee gave a statement about the greed, mistreatment and overall substandard conditions workers face at AT&T mobility. The Union bargaining team is ready to fight as long as it takes to address every single issue.

It is with great excitement the Orange Bargaining Team can announce that we have a Tentative Agreement with AT&T Mobility. The Bargaining Team has met or exceeded all of our goals. We could not have done this without your support and mobilization. Details of the Agreement and the process of ratification will follow shortly. Thank you all again for standing with us through this process!

As we continue bargaining, wages remain one of the last obstacles for a fair and equitable contract. We have been stuck on wages for a couple of weeks, but we are finally seeing the company moving in the right direction. Anyone paying attention to the news, or feeling the real-life pain of inflation, knows that we need a substantial raise.
