When Alcatel-Lucent won a bid to upgrade equipment at two 911 centers in Nebraska and Iowa, CWAers at the company hoped it would mean more work. Since April, many of CWA's 1,400 Alcatel-Lucent installers have had to work a reduced, 32-hour, work week because of the economy.

A new partnership between CWA and the Steelworkers means members will be that much safer at work as the two unions run joint safety and health training programs and work together to identify and reduce hazards on the job.

The Legacy T Team finally had another bargaining session with AT&T today.

USW and CWA officers, staff and members have identified occupational and environmental safety and health as an important element within the ongoing work of both unions. As an initial step toward achieving common goals and visions, USW and CWA and their respective safety and health departments have pledged to work together to develop and deliver training and education as well as resolve workplace and environmental hazards.
