Verizon was ready to go the distance to break the union. It took President Obummer to appoint tom perez as the biased mediator. Within hours Verizon crumbled to the POTUS and the union won. Trump does not care about unions due to there shoddy... — read more 

I wanted to add my two cents. It's funny to me that there is this battle for additional benefits and pay for AT&T retail positions. Many of these roles are considered unskilled labor. To still believe that you should be entitled to make as 40k to 60k... — read more 

As an authorized retail employee I hope you guys strike forever. I'm sitting pretty today with 4DTVs and you guys are closing tomorrow. (Round of applause)

Biggest losers ranked: 1) rsms & asms who think att is a career and are loyal to Randy 2) AR employees who make like 35k 3) rscs who think theyre going to be lifelong rscs and arent using tuition reimbursement

The relocation of jobs to call centers in Mexico, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic and other countries is one of the main issues in negotiations. A recent CWA report charges that in the Dominican Republic, for instance, where it uses... — read more 

CWA is a business just like ATT. They have their own interests in mind, not the RSCs. This is a huge joke. This is the beginning of the end. And shame on those RSCs that are acting out, attacking and screaming at people hiding behind a false sense of... — read more 

If they do, the burden falls on them. The union employees would unemployment payments immediately and that costs the cost company. If the Union walks it's costs us union guys more up front but hopefully breaks management greed before it costs us. I... — read more 

So with this 3 day walk out, was a new contract acquired? Demands met? Curious for the outcome.

I am an AR employee who took over a COR location. Man, the look of shock and disgust on those entitled pansies faces! COR entitlement is what is really nauseating. COR peons, you are owed nothing. The pointless union that the bulk of you overpay for... — read more 

What are the latest rumors for an additional strike for the Orange contract?

For those on strike I've been told by upper management that they may in fact lock the doors or otherwise refuse to let employees back in to their workplace on Monday until a contract is signed. Guess this 2 day strike really wasn't worth it after... — read more 

It was really sad to watch Union reps blow bullhorns in customer's (including people carrying babies and small children as well as the elderly) ears and make people afraid of getting help. It seems counterintuitive to make people hate you and then... — read more 

I wanted to be the first here and start a 2018 AT&T Surplus / Layoff thread here. I know it’s early and that we’ll be speculating quite a bit but wanted to see what folks think how things will play out in 2018. To be more specific, here are some... — read more 

I really hope all our cwa brothers stand behind us and for those who do not, let's plan to sue the cwa if they don't sue the scabs for the wages they made while we were on strike. Happy friday

Seriously it is the biggest collection of ugly losers Ive ever seen. At least most reps are young and in school. They have a future. Managers have self importance and undying loyalty until theyre replaced with AR. Theyve already said on record 75% of... — read more 

There are really people who brag about being att managers? Lololol att managers are the largest group of disgusting losers on the planet. At least most reps are young and in school. This is your life until they replace you with AR. Its funny arsms... — read more

Why are customers getting a recording saying we are closed when they call on the weekends?

I will be working this weekend. This is the best choice for me. I love my job and am grateful for my team. Here's some advice for those who are trying to make their decision: You will not get paid by att for any time you are not clocked in. CWA will... — read more 

News Alert!---If you don't like what is posted or disagree with facts, just call the writer "Randy's Troll" I see this term in multiple posts on this site every day. Just like CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS, the CWA must send out the "code words" of the day to... — read more 

Just heard that the west is going to start the technician surplus. Who will go and who will stay?

On Jun 1st DOC will be announcing the 38 managers to be gone by July 31. As mentioned in another post, they are not taking any volunteers (IIL). Early separation date is June 22nd I believe.

CWA has ripped us off for years and does nothing for us. We should vote to get rid of them and start our own union

If companies are going to get tax breaks then that should mean more dollars in a companies budget. Meaning raising the hourly pay for thousands of employees across America to stir the economy?

Has anyone who was separated on 3/31 received their severance or final comp checks yet? They said within 45 days and it's getting close. Thanks!
