  LOCAL LEADERS

We are pleased to announce another round of online training for locals on CWA dues systems, membership tracking and related financial operations for locals.

This is not a step-by-step training, however, sessions are structured to help you understand how the overall system works, including how to get the most out of the Orion system. The webinars are open to local officers, clerks and bookkeepers and others who help track dues and membership for your local.

The schedule is as follows:

Links to the full text of the Tentative Agreement, along with two wage charts that illustrate the net wage increases for those hired before and after 1/1/17.

After almost a year of bargaining and unprecedented mobilization we have reached a groundbreaking tentative agreement for members under the Orange contract at AT&T Mobility. 

Talks continued this week and the Union passed our full counter proposal to the company that includes all those issues you’ve identified as a priority in this round of bargaining.

CWA and AT&T Bargaining Committees met in New Jersey today where AT&T finally properly passed us their “Final Offer” proposal package, which contains details of the so-called highlights which they have been emailing to you the membership since last week.

What a week! Instead of waiting until Tuesday, November 7th, which is the earliest day AT&T was available to meet face to face, they tried to go around us and directly to you.

This week the CWA bargainers met to review our proposals and outstanding data requests, and to prepare responses to AT&T’s recent proposals, which did not address the issues that we have been talking to them about for months.

This morning AT&T sent out an email to our membership that begs clarification. While not exactly fake news, it is misleading and aimed at dividing our membership.
