Posted the whole comparison of what the company offered versus what they want. Then gave the cost differences. Of course that makes it look like there's a huge difference. How about comparing it to REAL numbers, like maybe this year's actual... — read more
New Bargaining Team
How can we (craft) get the bargaining team replaced? They're clearly over their heads, and offered only excuses. They don't have the negotiating skills to compete with ATT, so we need someone new. Their egos are hurt, and it shows. They've taken some... — read more
Town Hall Phone Call
So, what did we all learn this evening on this wonderfully unnecessary phone call? Other than questions that were mostly answered with BS, the reports told us the rest....
CWA and Company are in a Battle
After listening to tonight’s call and seeing the company’s latest “final offer”, one this is for certain, this is about to go for a long haul. The question now is do you have the pay to afford it? And if you’re a non-exempt manager or an employee... — read more
CWA offering loans at 45% Interest.
Top that
The Union Is Burning To The Ground…
and it is glorious to sit and watch.
$40K increase in pay, $35K increase in healthcare costs.
Yikes. Don’t any HR folks know how to do a spreadsheet? This deal is not worth the paper printed on. Unfair labor practices.
Town Hall: Getting another job.
Strike won’t end any time soon.
CWA Damage control
Brothers and sisters . Why is the CWA just now listening to our concerns and answering our questions. We look like fools on this picket line and not getting updates daily to keep our drive alive. If you can’t see this is damage control wake up. — read more
Veronica joins Verizon
The current Chief Network Officer of Frontier would join Verizon if the deal could close. If anyone in C&E remembers her or had worked under her, that was probably the last calm before the storm.
The Company Offer to District 3 is on HR Onestop

Tonight's call
Any chance the strike gets called off while bargaining continues?
Contingency Assignments
Large number of folks just got their deployment notice. The company is settling in for a long protracted negotiation. Good luck to all!
VMWare is Getting Expensive
"Hmm", said Stankey "If we had even less people, we won't need as much VMWare!", and so it continues until there were no more. https://arstechnica.com/?p=2047618
We have had quiet layoffs all along
Any rumors about next week? One thing you can’t accuse AT&T of is that it's boring.
Town Hall

Labor day pay
Seems like a stupid question, but locally nobody is 100% sure. Will those of us on strike get paid for labor day?
Everyone has successful negotiations but Att.
Workers at Blue Bird in Ga successfully negotiated a contract, Volkswagen in Tenn voted in UAW, Norfolk Southern reached a deal with a whopping 13 unions, Southwest ratified a contract with 33% over 4 years, a 5 year contract was reached with... — read more
Dist 9
9/6/2024 What will the results be!?!
Why was the CWA gate keeping these details?
Why couldn’t we know this was on the table? Can the CWA be sued for lost wages?
CWA.. is it really about the employees?
I am going to go ahead and say it. CWA seems to be treating this contract more of a political agenda than actually caring about the employees it is covering. How long can you hold out not working while CWA treats this as a political statement? No... — read more
ATT sends out clear details of final offer to CWA

Time for the union to stand it’s ground or give in as predicted.
Play time Friday, bring a football
I have it on anonymous sources that Att is to announce that due to their failed negotiations with Disney they would be offering PLAY DAY at all work centers for the little tykes. The mindset is we have all these personnel just sitting around we have... — read more

Company ultimatum coming soon?
It appears that the company has been playing chess while the union has been playing parcheesi. They have handed the company the keys to a new method of operation with this strike. The company’s plan to finally reorganize and shed massive numbers of... — read more
Left with Less after this mess!
I fought for more in 24, but left with less after this mess!
$20 bill credit
You will have to access your bill to verify your $20 DTV/Uverse credit for missing out on football and Disney programs. It might be Dec. before you find it if at all.
Wonder if the Strike will be mentioned?
