Our Chance to Put a Worker on AT&T's Board

CWA Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus Jeff Rechenbach has proposed that AT&T add an employee director to its Board. The proposal will be up for a vote at AT&T's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 24. Company shareholders, including many CWA members and retirees, are eligible to vote on stockholder proposals.

This year's meeting is being held via webcast, but you do not need to attend the meeting to vote. If you hold stock in AT&T, you should have received your annual meeting materials, including a proxy voting card either in the mail or electronically.

An employee voice – and vote – on the Board would provide an important counter to vulture hedge funds like Elliott Management and others which have pushed for massive job cuts and stock buybacks. CWA recommends that you vote FOR the Employee Director proposal, which is item number 5 on your proxy card.

CWA's recommendations on other proposals are available online at cwa-union.org/2020-att-proxy-voting-recommendations. After you submit your vote, please visit cwaunion.wufoo.com/forms/att-proxy-confirmation to let us know. This will help us get a better understanding of our strength as shareholders, and allow us to use that strength effectively in the future.
