Bargaining Wins and Updates

AT&T Mobility

The contract fight at AT&T Mobility is heating up across the country, and CWAers are getting the word out to the public about union-busting “authorized retail” stores that are not staffed by trained, experienced CWA members. CWAers in 36 states, plus the District of Columbia, that are covered by the Orange contract have been handing out flyers and talking with AT&T customers about the contract fight and the differences between authorized retail and union-staffed stores - and why authorized retail stores are bad for workers and for customers. The flyers also direct customers to visit cwa.org/attstore to locate a union-staffed store.

​

This comes after weeks of amazing mobilization among the members to get everyone ready to join the fight and take on AT&T for a fair contract! Check out this video put together by Local 1101 with AT&T Mobility workers in New York.
