Your Bargaining Team met with the Company until 2:00 AM this morning. The Company said they were very ?disappointed? we didn?t move further on Health Care. We responded that we were also disappointed they have not moved on ONE issue that is important to our Union AND they are still looking for huge contributions from our members on absence - maybe a little less huge than their first proposal, but still huge. In addition, they still have takeaways on the table on job security, absence, pensions, double-time and more.

Bargaining and discussions are continuing today at all four AT&T units: East, Legacy, Midwest and West.CWA negotiators in every district worked hours past midnight yesterday to continue to push for fair contracts, and were determined to keep momentum going in today's sessions. Mobilization coordinators also met today to ramp up plans for more actions.

Our contract with AT&T Legacy will expire in just a few minutes. At this time, we still have many issues unresolved.

The Bargaining Teams just finished meeting. The Company rejected the CWA?s package ?in its entirety? and put their own package on the table.

In an attempt to bring some fairness to these negotiations, this morning our CWA bargaining Team presented a comprehensive package to the Company. As we have said, the Company has been very clear in telling us what problems of theirs they want us to fix and have been completely unresponsive to our issues.
