AT&T "Legacy T" Final Bargaining Report

Attached is the Bargaining Report outlining the changes in the 2009 Agreement between "Legacy T" and AT&T.

In these extremely difficult economic times, with the unemployment rate continuing to skyrocket, this team made protecting our members' jobs its number one mission.  Although we did not accomplish everything we would have liked in this bargaining and continue to be angry about the Health Care cost-shifting this Company imposed on us, we feel that we were able to meet our main goal.  On that basis, and in light of the many other improvements we were able to make in this contract, the bargaining team unanimously supports this agreement and recommends its ratification by the membership.

A full explanation will be presented to the Presidents next Wednesday, September 2, in Baltimore, after which the ratification process will begin.

It was only due to the support, hard work, and mobilization of the Locals and the membership that we were able to achieve what we did.
