AT&T CORE (West) Bargaining Report #7 - March 5, 2024

AT&T Bargaining Update #7 - March 5, 2024 | CWA District 9 (cwad9.org)

Your bargaining team met with the company today, and we were expecting to get some good news about the proposals that we have passed. They started the day with a small glimmer of hope as the company passed a proposal that, on the surface, looks to benefit the members who choose to use tuition aid.  The bargaining team will analyze this proposal and see if it's a benefit to the membership. This is the first proposal that wasn’t a takeback, so maybe this will be a trend that starts us in a positive direction; only time will tell.
 
We have engaged in subcommittee meetings on various topics, and those discussions will persist with the aim of achieving a positive outcome. The team has scheduled more subcommittee discussions on outstanding MOAs with the expectation of collaborative effort to obtain a resolution on those items.

The company finally responded to some of the Union’s proposals by rejecting them. The bargaining team reiterated to the company that we are demanding items that benefit the membership and improve the working conditions for all.
