CWA AT&T Mobility Benefits Bargaining Report 07/01/2008

Yesterday your CWA National Bargaining Committee spent a majority of the day preparing a counter proposal that is very fair to our members and to the Company. It was our intention to reach a new agreement by yesterday's deadline. Unfortunately for our members, the Company returned to the table without the same intention.

During our meeting, the Company reviewed our counter proposal, and then simply stated that they would not have another proposal even though there was still more than five hours left before expiration of the agreement. An hour after both sides left to go home, the Company called and said they had changed their minds; they did have a counter, and asked us to meet at 10:30 p.m. It would have been great if we could report that this last proposal the Company presented late last night moved...Read More

CWA District 3 Presidents voted to go into early bargaining with AT&T - more information on this and what it means to you will be available soon.

Local 3905 will be setting up a food bank at the local in preparation for 2009 - all members will be asked to bring non-perishable food and paper goods to stock the bank in case we do have to go out on strike in 2009. All members will be able to receive food and supplies from this bank to support our families in the event we are out. More information will be available within the next couple of months.

Not a CWA member yet? Do you see how the members around you are paying their hard-earned dues and are willing to walk a picket line to keep the wages, benefits and job securities for themselves and you? It is NOT too late to join. See any job steward or call the local at 539-6081 and we will be glad to answer any questions you have and help you understand why we are stronger together and why we need everyone standing together to keep the jobs, pay and benefits the members before us have fought for.

We will be gearing up for contract year soon.  One of our initiatives will be stocking a food bank here at the local.  Beginning in August, we will be asking all our members to bring non-perishable food items and paper goods to stock the bank.  These items will be available to all our members and their families if we have to strike to get a contract with AT&T.  If we get a contract without a strike, we will hold a family dinner at the local and give the remainder of the goods to a local charity.  Please keep this initiative in mind next time you go shopping.
