AT&T's so-called "final" proposal is a desperate attempt by AT&T to avoid reaching an agreement that would keep good, family-supporting jobs in our communities. Instead of continuing our agreed-upon negotiation process, they have violated the National Labor Relations Act by sending their misleading summary directly to CWA members and by failing to bargain in good faith.

This afternoon the Company presented the Union with a 5th comprehensive package proposal that they termed as ?final?. The Company has moved towards the Union?s direction on some issues, but it doesn?t appear that we are where we need to be yet.
As usual, the email the Company sent out this afternoon highlights some positives in their proposal, but leaves out the many diminishments and retrogressive proposals that CWA members will not accept.

At this time, CWA District 4 and AT&T have not reached a new agreement.
We will be working without a contract effective at 12:00 AM CDT, Sunday, April 15th.
We are still FAR from resolving a multitude of issues that must be addressed before a tentative agreement can be presented.
The CWA team is currently headed back to meet with the Company at this time.
Its time for mobilization activities to really heat up!!
No Contract No Peace!
In Solidarity,
Your CWA District 4 Bargaining Team
