I will update this post as more information becomes available. At this time, Malashon is relaying that among the items mentioned in the District 6 brief, employees working for Workforce and the Office of The President can expect pay upgrades in this tentative agreement. EWP time will be able to be taken in single hour increments. Job upgrades to the titles of customer support spet, information systems tech, wireless tech, and tech-msc/rnoc are included. A transfer process between AT&T Core and Mobility is included, core employees will be job protected and transfer will be on a voluntary basis. Additionally, should an employee transfer from one AT&T company to another, benefits including FMLA eligibility will be preserved.
We are hearing that our bargaining committee was unsuccessful in getting AT&T to agree to restore healthcare as a bargaining item in this tentative agreement.
Additionally, the current pension plan remains unchanged, with no increases for the term of the agreement.
Guaranteed minimum commision of $12,500 for full time retail sales employees, prorated for part time retail sales employees.

The counts from all the locals are in to the district, and we are pleased to announce to our local members that the strike vote was massively approved; our bargaining committee will be able to take these numbers to the Company and show without a doubt that if AT&T Mobility is unwilling to agree to a fair contract, we are ready to take action.
Thanks you to everyone who participated in the vote for doing your part to help us win the contract we’ve earned!

The last bargaining update call to take place before the 2/24/2012 expiration of our contract is happening this Sunday, 2/12/2012 at 7:00 PM. You can listen in on the call by texting UPDATE to 69866 or by visiting district6.cwa-union.org/mobilitycall and filling out a form to be added to the call, with an option to submit a question to be addressed on the call.
This call is going to be an important one as the Union and the Company have officially begun bargaining. The District has committed to using the majority of the call to field questions from members, which we can submit using the form linked-to above, or by speaking with a screener during the live call.
Based on feedback from employees, we understand that most members prefer to spend their Sunday evening listening to the call at home, with their families. We agree! If anyone has any questions or concerns about anything brought up on the call, we will be available to discuss them.
