AT&T Midwest

The AT&T Midwest bargaining team returned to the bargaining table this week in an attempt to restart meaningful negotiations. They will continue to push AT&T to commit to servicing the customers of the Midwest region with reliable market-leading communications services as they have for decades using CWA members covered by the Midwest Agreement.

The bargaining team is urging members to write a short letter to their members of Congress ask them to investigate what AT&T has done with its tax break windfall since the company is clearly not keeping its promise to using the money to create jobs and keep good jobs in the communities they serve. You can find more information on the letter writing campaign at www.GoodJobsATT.org/CongressLetter.

For those who were unable to participate in the CWA/AT&T Midwest town hall on bargaining, these are note highlights I took.

CWA speakers included CWA President Chris Shelton, D4 VP Linda Hinton, T&T VP Lisa Bolton and the CWA chairs of both tables.
Both Midwest and Legacy T remained committed to job security talks for members to share in the success of the company. If there are no jobs, a contract means nothing. "NO JOBS, NO DEAL".
CWA needs every member to join the mobilization fight. Coworkers must join the fight as well as people in the streets, and most importantly Congress or we may never get a contract.

In the update, which is quite similar to a previously circulated document, the company again lists items included in their Final Offer proposed in August. As always, the devil is in the details, which they chose to leave out of this document.
