CWA AT&T West Bargaining Bulletin #51 May 17th, 2012

The Union and the Company committees have been meeting in subcommittee to work on bargaining proposals. We are making progress on some issues.

As a result of your mobilizing efforts, the Company has withdrawn some of their retrogressive proposals.

The Company has withdrawn: 

CP#23 Monitoring and Recording of Calls- that would have allowed the company to monitor how they see fit. We still have not reached an agreement on the issue of monitoring.

CP#5 Sunday Premium- eliminating Sunday premium pay.

CP#29 Appearance Policy was withdrawn.

CP#24 Additional Cash Awards- would have allowed the company to apply cash awards as they determine.

 Today is the 27th day post expiration of our contract! People want to know how close we are to getting a contract. The answer is we are miles apart!! We have agreed to one proposal and that work was done prior to our starting negotiations and formalized in bargaining! While we have met, and will continue to meet in subcommittees, those meetings have not produced agreements... Read More

Thursday April 26, 2012

The Union and the Company have had informal discussions in subcommittee and have been making some progress.

We are still a long way from reaching an agreement, and we need your continued support to get us there!

In Randall Stephenson’s message to the workers this week, he stated that first quarter earnings had a very solid start to the year. Mobile internet, advanced business services and U-verse all continue to grow at a fast clip. We did a good job on cost containment across the business. And as a result, cash flow was strong and our earnings per share were up better than 5 percent.

Our mobile internet momentum continues to be very strong. Our wireline business revenues are moving closer to positive growth. AT&T U-verse has grown to become an $8 billion annualized revenue stream... Read More

April 20, 2012

Informal and subcommittee meetings with the Company continued today and yesterday.  Your union Bargaining committee stands ready to meet with the Company at any time to reach an agreement!

To keep you informed, listed below are some of the important Union issues still on the table:

Employment Security- The Company wants to have the right to unilaterally cancel Employment Security, a right we have fought long and hard to achieve!

Benefits- The Company is trying to shift Medical costs to you rather than work with the Union to curb costs!

Wages- The Company has offered 1.25%, 1.5% and 1.5%. A miserly proposal that doesn’t keep up with the cost of living, or pay for the Medical they are proposing.

The Company also wants to Eliminate Double time,...Read More
