Broken Promises Tour

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-shift/2018/08/07/trump-bets-on-kobach-308083 CWA SLAMS AT&T OVER JOB CUTS: AT&T workers on Monday launched a "broken promises" tour to shame the company over job cuts when they said it promised job creation. The workers, represented by the Communications Workers of America, will focus on AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson?s 2017 statement that the company would create 7,000 good jobs for the middle class and devote $1 billion to capital expenditures with savings from Republicans? tax reform law. CWA contends the company has cut 7,000 jobs since the tax cuts went into effect.

I wanted to touch base on recent events reaching our center. As you know members across the five-state region protested LR's continued engagement of members bypassing the bargaining team they elected to represent them. Notwithstanding the law dispute itself, most members are not trained and experienced in follow-up / analytical questions regarding attractive data. Imagine if you had children or seniors living in your household and your city officials waited for you to go to work to engage them about a controversial tax millage and promised them new playgrounds and bingo halls.

Brothers and Sisters,

The collective actions of you, the Members, have been heard. The Company is officially on notice that unfair labor practices will not be tolerated.

Workers will stay on the job as negotiations continue.

The 14,000 workers at AT&T Midwest and AT&T Legacy T, members of the Communications Workers of America, will continue working even though their contracts have expired. The AT&T Midwest agreement expired at 11:59 pm CT on Saturday. The AT&T Legacy T contract expired at 11:59 ET on Saturday.
