CWA D4 AT&T Midwest Bargaining Report #85

Monday was a long day of bargaining with only a little progress.  Our bargaining committee is focused on achieving a contract that maintains our standard of living, protects our jobs, and assures that both active employees and retirees are treated fairly.  AT&T, so far, has not been willing to do all of those things but wants us to choose between them.  We continue to explain to AT&T that we have helped them achieve some of their goals; they need to help us meet ours in return.  That is the path to a fair contract that works for both sides.  Bargaining will continue today.

Mobilization News:  Members across the Midwest continue to mobilize for our fight to win a fair contract at AT&T.  Remember to take the time to make sure each job you perform is a quality one and work safely!

Local 4108 in Saginaw is spreading the word to the public to "STOP CORPORTATE GREED!"  This is the billboard they have on I-75.

Contact your Local's mobilization coordinator or officers to find out about your Local's activities.

The next report will be Wednesday, July 8, or sooner should developments warrant.
