“Today the Union and the Company met to discuss the various bargaining proposals on both sides. Discussions are intense but there is a possibility that negotiations could move forward. We are inspired by the solidarity across the District. You... — read more 

My thoughts during this time of strike..

I don’t really wanna leave this company. I honestly want to love my job. But as I sit here on strike waiting to get surplused, I cannot imagine things being much worse than this elsewhere. I mean, Burger King isn’t laying off workers that do good... — read more 

“Intermittent Strikes”

The National Labor Relations Board prohibits “intermittent strikes” .... So if the strike ends it restricts the right to have another short term one for a bit. The timing was a little off. Should have scheduled it after the 1st so strikers had... — read more

Why do we even need layoffs?

This place is a revolving door as it is. I can't even keep track of people who are leaving and people who are replacing them. Why not simply stop hiring replacements?

How long do you plan to stay at AT&T?

I figure this is a valid question. Aside from the old-timers that are awaiting their pensions, I believe a lot of folks are disappointed with the way AT&T conducts business and with the state that the company is in. In that light I ask how long do... — read more 

A Level 1 Manager’s Thoughts

Let me start off by saying that I’m very pro union. I was craft for my first 7 years with the company & only moved to management after they closed my center down & moved it out of state & I needed to remain local to work. Myself and a few of my work... — read more 

At&t streaming offerings are a mess

If they think that's a mess, wait until they check into billing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/t-apos-streaming-offerings-mess-150000535.html

Original streaming series

Been an AT&T employee & customer for over 20 years. Currently have DirecTV and have enjoyed service for most part but my teenage children wanted Netflix. I have to say that I’m taken back by the streaming speed compared to DirecTV on demand and the... — read more 

D3 Strike

Does anyone know for sure how long the strike in the southeastern states is supposed to last? It will be useless if it ends tomorrow. In 1983, it lasted about 3 weeks, and to my knowledge, that was the last time the company walked. Good luck... — read more 

D4 new contract : what is it’s start and stop date?

I’m curious if D4 at least had the wisdom of aligning its contract period closer with D3 for the next time they negotiate or if once again it’ll be over a year apart. If they had held out just TWO MORE DAYS they could be right now applying pressure... — read more

I worked as a manager for AT&T for a few years...

I was a tech before that. I took a package offer to leave before a lay off happened. I am not disgruntled! It was common knowledge that the company was going to break the union on this contract. From what I have read and heard from others... — read more 

Stay strong...

AT&T lied about how much everyone makes , my husband don't even make half of that. They stand up to their rights if more people would do this Americans could run the country better instead of complaining about it. The negotiations are a joke... — read more

Thanks CWA for striking

You just saved the company a billion dollars a year in salaries alone, not to mention. how much AT&T contributed towards employees pensions, stock match & healthcare... This isn't the 70's folks; we are global now.

AT&T settles 2014 lawsuit

Of course they won't disclose the terms. Shouldn't shareholders know in order to make informed educated investment decisions? What is yhe company hiding? https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2019/08/23/business/23reuters-att-ftc-data.html

CWA NEEDS TO CHANGE A NO VOTE TO A NO ON BALLOTS

People who don’t care and don’t vote know their wont be a strike and just continue to be anti social and keep on truckin. That doesn’t help the Union Brotherhood system of making decisions together as a union. Change the one rule for ballots for a No... — read more 

D3 ULP strike

D3 is on strike Friday 11pm until 9am Wednesday Central.

Can anything be accomplished by a strike?

I'm not exactly pro strike, but I’m not against it either. I would just like for things to get better at T, but every day my skepticism about that happening is growing more and more. I’ve seen many situations where people go on strike at a certain... — read more 

A weekend strike?

Well, sure, the Union appears to be doing something for the workers... And it will not impact the company at all! Way to strike!

D3 bargaining team left the table

ATT posted a broadcast message on the GCAS platform indicating the Union left the bargaining table on Monday. However, when looking at bargaining updates on the D3 website, there is no reference to this. Why not?

This really works out for them, doesn't it?

When they want more from us, we’re all one big, happy family. But when we ask for anything, it’s just business and the answer is no. Same when we are shown the door. Don't take it personally, it's just business. Seems like they have set up a... — read more

Three Day Strike

A 3 Day strike is a joke. Assuming they're including Saturday and Sunday in the strike? So basically a 3 Day weekend. AT&T won't even yawn at a 3 Day strike.

$135 for AT&T now.

I see people signing up in droves. Said no one. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/video/t-offers-streaming-135-per-152521936.html

D3 Strike Time!!!

We all need to come together and Strike as a whole until a fair contract is made. We sacrifice a lot for the company to treat us like dogs.
