2024 MOBILITY BARGAINING #4

February 12, 2024

Over the weekend the bargaining committee worked on Union proposals and researched the companies benefit proposals. While we have been able to find middle ground in some areas, we still have a long way to go. We have made it very clear to the Company that in addition to improving wages and benefits, we are seeking protections for attendance impacting inclement weather as well as enhancements to many of our current contract articles.

In our meetings with the Company today we passed proposals referring to Retail Sales Consultants, Virtual Sales Consultants and Senior In Home Experts, Funeral leave language, Hours of Work, and company Union Relationship.

Tonight we will continue looking through the information the company has provided and prepare for another bargaining session in the morning. This team will do everything they can to negotiate a contract we can all be proud of.

Please continue to participate in mobilization in your work locations, your bargaining team appreciates your support.
WE WANT MORE IN 2024!!!
OUR UNION, OUR FIGHT!!!

2024 MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT #3

Bargaining is in full swing, and the Union is up to bat. Many hours have been spent working on our strategy and putting together strong proposals to present to company officials. Today lengthy discussions took place around arbitration language, call center upgrades, workplace issues, as well as enhancements to current language obtained in previous agreements.

The Union passed numerous proposals to address concerns that were submitted by members and Locals across District 6. The Union and the Company have committed to giving all of the requests passed between the two committees due and careful consideration.

The Company passed a few counter proposals to the Unions initial proposal and the bargaining team will work hard to review them throughout the weekend. The Union will continue to have meaningful discussions with the Company to ensure what is best for the members is brought to the table.

The bargaining team would like to thank each and every member in and outside our District for the continued mobilization activities and support your presence is felt at the table.

WE WANT MORE IN 2024!!!
OUR UNION, OUR FIGHT!!!

2024 MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT #2

Your District 6 Mobility Bargaining Committee met with the Company again today and discussed in detail the proposals we presented to them at bargaining kickoff. In addition to the Union and the Company’s benefit packages, serious discussions were held regarding management rights, arbitration language, enhancements to pension and 401K, Company paid holidays, paid time off, excused with pay, retiree healthcare as well as floating and designated holidays.

The CWA bargaining team will spend the remainder of tonight reviewing the Company’s benefit package. In addition, we are currently having our legal team review the Company’s benefit proposals while we research everything they have provided. We will work on our responses to the Company’s proposals including Company paid holidays and arbitration.

As always, we appreciate your continued support.

WE WANT MORE IN 2024!!!

AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT #1

07 Feb, 2024

2024 MOBILITY BARGAINING
REPORT #1

The Union opened up bargaining today with an opening statement highlighting the many improvements we are seeking in the 2024 Labor Agreement. We are committed to negotiating a contract that addresses our members’ demands for a strong contract with improvements to wages, benefits and working conditions that reflect the value they bring to the Company and our customers.

The Company’s fourth quarter for 2023 included $32 BILLION in revenues with $22.4 billion driven by wireless and fiber. Well trained Union represented members have played an instrumental role in Mobility’s continued recognition as the nations fastest and best network.

We ended our last negotiations at the start of a devastating pandemic, and while we have returned to our normal routines, we will never forget those that we lost during that time and the sacrifices we made. Our bargaining unit members kept AT&T solvent and profitable through some of the hardest years in our history. CWA represented employees were the face of AT&T for many customers who relied on our products and services during that time. Despite the risks, employees showed up because they knew that their communities were depending on them.

Our members are proud of the roles they played, but now they are struggling to provide for their families in the midst of a drastic increase in the cost of living. Today we made it very clear to the Company that a substantial wage increase is a top priority for this round of negotiations.

All of us here today are committed to building on AT&T’s success. In light of the status of AT&T’s financials, there is no reason for any concessionary proposals from the Company. In District 6 we are rightfully proud of our work! The changes to the agreement we will be presenting to the Company are intended to provide a foundation for AT&T’s growth while ensuring that our members share in the Company’s prosperity through a substantial wage increase.

Your bargaining team wants to thank you for all the support you are providing across the District. We appreciate the warm welcome Local officers and members from Local 6132 greeted us with, as we arrived to meet with the Company for the first time today. Please continue to participate in local mobilization activities.

WE WANT MORE IN 2024, OUR UNION, OUR FIGHT!!!
