Mobilization is more important than ever. Our battle for a good contract is just beginning. Everyone must get involved. Our strength in bargaining comes from
a strong and visible mobilization. Make sure the company knows that we stand together behind our bargaining team. Your power is what will move AT&T management at the table.
OUR CONTRACT HAS EXPIRED......
Working without a Contract….What does this mean? You will continue to work. You will still earn a paycheck. The
company cannot change your wages or working conditions. All benefits. Including health
care will remain in effect. The grievance procedure continues, but not arbitration. You have the legal right to participate in "concerted activity". You can mobilize on the job, wearing
CWA t-shirts, buttons, stickers, leaflet and informational picketing.
The company continues retrogressive
bargaining and we remain far apart at the bargaining table. Key issues like wages, benefits, scheduling, differentials and
pensions are still at stake. There are a number of reasons
why your union leadership has made this decision: We’ll show the public that the unionized workers of AT&T care about service quality…even
if the company doesn’t. We will do everything possible to ensure that our customers receive good service. By not striking
at this time, we show our willingness to go the extra mile. The
company expects a strike and has been preparing for one. Why should we give them what they expect, and maybe even want? If
at some point we decide it is the best tactic we have 150,000 CWA members at AT&T who will support you.
NO business as usual! We will not simply be working as usual. Mobilization is more important than ever.
Our strength in bargaining comes from a strong and visible mobilization. Make sure the company knows that we stand together
behind our bargaining team. Display signs on your cubicle, desks and bulletin boards. Do workplace actions, informational
picketing and rallying. Your power is what will move AT&T management at the table. |
