The CWA has a reputation for creating lazy workers. Should AT&T raise the bar by requiring better accountability and improved performance from the Union workers than has been observed in previous years?

The CWA finally gave an answer as to why the standstill is being held with insurance. Their argument is 3-4 million per year is being credited to the company to help pay for supplemental insurance offered to the spouses of employees that have an... — read more 

Should managed employees bear the individual cost burden of a $1475 annual increase to break the stalemate and get the CWA members back to work?

Unnecessary overhead. Time to explore less expensive, more productive options.

and the Company just shrugs it off.

Was a joke of pre-orders in COR stores! No body wanna get em! No incentives! Same ole trade in stuff. Best of luck “T”!

I heard our healthcare is being turned off… does the union provide supplemental?

I am starting a CP Assignment Walkout thread. Monday morning at 7 am all CP Assignment managers call out for a sick day. Who is with me?

When do we get our daily update on the union leaders bedtime with no other negotiation info?… lol

I couldn’t imagine missing an entire month of pay. A lot of people suffering for nothing. The offer was more than reasonable and you know it. Destroying your finances will take you 8 years to recover from. Is it really worth it?

The ultimate goal is to push toward reducing locations by forcing people out of undesirable locations via firings, forced attrition, etc. This will allow them to offer jobs only in the demographic they want. This slims down the real estate and... — read more
