CWAers Crash AT&T’s March Madness Block Party

AT&T Orange Mobility workers hired digital billboard trucks and distributed informational flyers last week outside of the AT&T Block Party at the March Madness Music Festival in Indianapolis, Ind. Members mobilized to inform the public about the company’s corporate greed and the ongoing contract negotiations.

AT&T spends millions of dollars on flashy corporate sponsorships like the NCAA March Madness tournament and free concert events for the public. But CWA members let the public know that these free events are not possible without the wealth created by the workers.

CWA and AT&T agreed to a contract extension after an overwhelming 95 percent of voting Orange Mobility members authorized CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. to call a strike if necessary. The contract extension now expires on April 17.
