AT&T Mobility Members Mobilize As Contract Talks Continue

CWA's bargaining team continued to work through tough issues with AT&T Mobility management this week, and union members stepped up mobilization as the Feb. 7 contract expiration neared.

Mobility members now are taking a strike authorization vote; results will be announced late Friday. Meanwhile, members throughout Districts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, and 13 are mobilizing, distributing picket signs, wearing red on Thursdays and showing their support for the CWA bargaining team. At the Communications and Technologies-Telecommunications conference, more than 200 CWAers unanimously pledged their support "to do whatever is necessary" to help Mobility members achieve the contract they deserve.   

Issues for Mobility members – listed as most important in membership surveys -- are wages, benefit plans, work schedules, time off and job security top the list.
