Lost multiple installs today and over $200 because techs didn’t show up and customers went different directions. Whose going to reimburse me for that money?

Any info?

Heard from management that after the strike is over Att plans to force 6 day work weeks and overload us with work for a month or so.

So if the strike is because of the ULP of T not bargaining in good faith by bringing a representative to the table who was not authorized or qualified to bargain, and bargaining resumed today, does that mean we are still bargaining with T's same... — read more

Folks, as a long time AT&T Wireless cellsite/switch tech. I cannot get behind 5G. I've been thru 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G technologies and 3G/4G are enough. 5G is a money looser and a health hazard, it's not worth it. I'm not a member of the CWA but, I do... — read more

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?

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

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.

What geographic area is covered by this 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!

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?

Let the incompetent managers do their thing and get a taste of it. Get our cameras out and let’s enjoy this show!!!
