International Campaign

To:  Alcatel-Lucent Local Presidents

Last week we notified your Locals about an international campaign to have workers worldwide sign petitions protesting the "golden parachutes" given to Alcatel-Lucent's failed leadership.  Attached is the press release sent out to the European Press.  Also check out the CWA's press release at http://www.cwa-union.org/news/alcatel-lucent-workers-worldwide-call-on-executives-to-give-up-golden-parachute-bonus.html.

I want to thank all of you who collected almost 300 signatures from all over the country in less than a week.  All together seventeen (17) Unions participated and about 6000 signatures were collected.  This was an extremely positive step to have so many Unions working together, showing a single, united force to stand up to Alcatel-Lucent, especially as new leadership takes over.

In Unity,

Laura Unger
CWA Representative
