CWA / ATTM Orange CBA - Bargaining Report #1

CWA / ATTM Orange CBA - Bargaining Report #1

January 24, 2022

Today the Orange Bargaining Committee met with the AT&T bargaining committee to begin the negotiations for the AT&T Orange Contract that covers thousands of workers across the United States. We are bargaining in an environment of incredible challenges including inflation, worker unrest and the ongoing Covid Pandemic.

Your Union Bargaining Committee is prepared to fight for the rights of all members covered by the Orange Contract. We are seeking improvements throughout the contract including wages, benefits, health and safety, call sharing, overall compensation and much more. The Pandemic has changed the way many of us work and we are fighting for language to address those issues.

The Company offered a Benefits proposal right off the bat that was offensive, concessionary and shows their contempt for their employees. We need all our CWA members to be prepared for a fight as well. We are going to fight, and we need an army of Union members fighting alongside us. Please stay informed, stay in touch with your Local and keep up to date on the information available to you. We are prepared to continue bargaining as long as it takes to get a fair and equitable contract.

WE will prevail-ONE DAY LONGER, ONE DAY STRONGER!!

In Solidarity:
