CORE Mobilization

Posted: May 15, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Bargaining, News | Leave a comment »

Over the coming days and weeks, we will be reaching out to our CORE employees to verify contact information. Newer employees may be presented with a contact information sheet to fill out and return while employees who have been with the company for several years will likely be contacted via telephone to confirm current information.

We are in extremely early stages of organizing and information gathering, and will have more information available as time progresses. While we are still many months away from contract negotiations, we would like to make sure that we are prepared to fight for the contract you deserve.

Many of our members will have experience with mobilization surrounding contract negotiations, but for those of you who do not, the contact information we are updating is simply a way to get up to date information dispersed to our members in a timely, efficient manner. Our Local mobilization coordinator will pass updates and information on to worksite mobilization coordinators such as chief stewards, who will pass the information forward to group coordinators, who will pass information forward to their assigned group of employees.

This means that everyone will have someone to look to for up to date, accurate information, not rumors and hearsay.

Additionally, when there are mobilization activities, this will be the structure used to help mobilize the members of our local. Mobilization activities include things like wearing red on Thursdays (we encourage members to do this every Thursday!) and the 10-2-4 standups to informational pickets, and if called for, strikes.

T-Mobile Call Centers

Posted: April 13, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: News | Leave a comment »

Last week we asked our members to join with the CWA International organization in sending a message to T-Mobile — don’t close seven US call centers and “offshore” 3,300 American jobs.

The AFL-CIO is asking us to make our voices heard again. If you didn’t act last week, this is a second chance to do so. If you did, why not put your name to both petitions and remind T-Mobile that there’s never a right time to close US Call Centers. You can sign the new petition here.

This announcements affects 8,400 current AT&T Employees. AT&T has stated that as a condition of the sale, will recognize The Union and accept the applicable labor contracts for affected members.

T-Mobile Intends to Close Seven Call Centers

Posted: April 6, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: News | Leave a comment »

Please add your voice to the outcry against T-Mobile’s decision to close seven call centers here in the United States, eliminating 3,300 jobs right here at home and shipping them to Asia and Central America.

You can make your voice heard at the CWA National Website. We encourage our members to participate, and ask your friends and family to do the same. There is time to save these jobs, but T-Mobile needs to hear from all of us!
