Backed by an active mobilization campaign underway in every CWA district, CWA bargainers are working down to the wire to reach new agreements with AT&T prior to contract expiration at midnight on Saturday morning, April 4.

In an Employee Free Choice debate, CWA Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Rechenbach will go head-to-head tonight with an attorney from a union-busting law firm. The program will air on the CBS radio network in Philadelphia. If you're in the Philadelphia area, tune in at 7 pm to WPHT 1210 am for the two-hour program. And call in to support Employee Free Choice, at 610-664-1210.

As giant banners of CWA members and other workers fighting for the Employee Free Choice Act were unveiled in Washington, D.C., and on mobile billboards throughout the country March 31, three dedicated activists who played fictional politicians on TV came to Capitol Hill to give the bill their strongest endorsement.

Bargaining Update Due to the 60-day suspension of CWA Local 2252 President Sean Linehan, and the hostile actions of AT&T security in the Oakton, VA building, we have demanded that the Company find a neutral site where we can bargain without intimidation.

First of all, the Bargaining Team was glad to hear so many Locals represented on last night’s conference call.
