Mobilzation 2012

We’ve made the difference

at AT&T.

We will make the difference

in 2012!

This month we celebrate Martin Luther King’s birthday. At the time that Dr. King was assassinated in 1968, he was in Memphis to support the striking sanitation workers there. He believed that we all need to stand together to fight for justice. He knew that workers and their Unions are an important part of that fight.

“We Make the Difference” at AT&T. It is a summary of some of the gains we have made over the years in bargaining with AT&T.

None of these gains was won without a fight.
We need to fight if we want to save them now.

As we saw in 2009 bargaining and in every contract the CWA (and every other Union) has bargained in recent years, employers continue to increase their profits on the backs of their workers. Whether it is shifting the cost of benefits, changing long-standing work rules, massive layoffs, subcontracting or off-shoring, their goal is clear.

AT&T bargaining in 2012 will be no different. WE will make the difference in bargaining this year if we start our fight now and let AT&T know we will do everything necessary to win a fair Contract.

We are fighting for the American dream. We will not let them steal it away.

Orange Points Cap Lifted

As most of you know we have been trying to remove the cap on Orange points ever since some of our reps in Lee’s Summit hit the cap in August of 2010. I am very pleased to announce that today we have succeeded!!! The $3,000.00 cap on Orange points has been lifted. It is unlimited until the contract expires and is retroactive for 2011.
