90 AT&T Mobility Retail Sales Workers Organize in WVa

Another 90 AT&T Mobility Retail Sales workers in West Virginia joined CWA through majority sign up, following a campaign by 100 AT&T Mobility customer care workers in Wheeling who also used majority sign up to get their CWA voice, said District 2 Vice President Ron Collins.

CWA now represents AT&T Mobility employees wall-to-wall in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The West Virginia retail sales workers were part of Dobson Communications before the corporation was purchased by AT&T Mobility last year. Collins praised the West Virginia locals for organizing successes that came in the midst of difficult negotiations at AT&T Mobility.

The retail sales workers' statewide campaign was coordinated by CWA Local 2001 organizer Ken Williams with support and assistance from CWA locals across the state, and support from District 2 CWA Staff Representative Elaine Harris and Organizing Coordinator Richard Verlander.
