CWA & AT&T Mobility Orange-Bargaining Report #8

The Union Bargaining Committee continues to meet with the Company every day. Today, the company passed one of the most offensive and concessionary proposals we have seen from them in many years. After your bargaining team expressed their outrage at the Company’s proposal, the Company immediately withdrew their concessionary proposal. While the Union is here trying to address the current economic situation and improve the financial well being of our employees, the company is clearly not taking our proposals seriously. They are not interested in offering improvements; they are looking to go backwards. We reported that there was positive movement last week it was surprising that they took such a tone today.

 We anticipate a long week of bargaining, and the company needs to come to the table and get real. We need our members to stay informed and mobilized.

 WEwillprevail—ONEDAYLONGER,ONEDAYSTRONGER!!
