Bargaining Update

AT&T West

CWAers at AT&T West picketed locations throughout California and Nevada on March 22, walking off the job in a grievance strike to protest the company's change in working conditions for technicians. 

To end the strike, AT&T agreed that it would no longer require technicians to perform work assignments outside their areas of expertise and classification.

"We went on strike to demonstrate to the country that we will not do more work for less pay, especially when it puts us in a position not to deliver the best possible service," said Robert Longer, an AT&T technician in Sacramento and a member of Local 9421.
