First Bargaining Report

From the District Six Website

Today, the Union met with the Company to kickoff negotiations with AT&T Mobility. Bargaining Chair Richard Kneupper, Assistant to the District 6 Vice-President gave the opening statement for the Union. Richard cited the record profits for AT&T stating that the company is, “doing well, very well, and the time has come to share the success with our members.” He said, that churn is a major concern for the Company and the Union and good wages, good benefits and good working conditions are all important components to a good contract.

Your bargaining committee, which consists of Richard Kneupper, Mike Neumann, Jim Murray, Eva Sustaita and John Richie presented the Company with a package of bargaining proposals and discussed them with the Company. Your bargaining committee has been made aware of the mobilization and support we are receiving. This is the very thing that will help your bargaining committee bring in a good and fair contract. KEEP IT UP!!!
