Breaking! CWA members have voted to ratify our new Orange AT&T Mobility contract, covering 12,000 workers!
The agreement includes adjustments for inflation, limits mandatory overtime, curtails the outsourcing of jobs to authorized retailers, adds privacy protections for call center representatives who are working from home, increases parental leave, extends job security protections, and more! With this agreement, we have the security of knowing that our wages will continue to grow over the next four years.
It is with great excitement the Orange Bargaining Team can announce that we have a Tentative Agreement with AT&T Mobility
As we inch closer to a deal, wages remain a sticking point. We have agreements on many very good improvements for every group in the Orange Contract, but the Company still needs to reach into their pockets to secure fair raises
Five years ago, on Memorial Day Weekend, CWA workers covered under the Orange Contract had recently returned from their historic strike at AT&T Mobility. The strike was unprecedented and sent a message of solidarity and strength to the Company. Building on that strength, and the current mobilization, we are close to a fair and equitable contract.
Enough broken promises. It’s time for AT&T to invest in its workforce and in the communities it serves. We need good, family-supporting jobs and we need next generation networks and high-quality service everywhere. We demand a fair Orange contract at AT&T!
The Orange Bargaining Committee continues to meet with the Company. As previously reported, we are making progress and have tentative agreements on many important issues. There are only a few issues left to reach an agreement, but they are important issues.
We have made progress on most issues important to all groups covered by the Orange Contract. We have spent the last several months of bargaining focused on making improvements to just about every aspect of your work lives, and we believe we are close to securing a contract that will do just that.
First of all, the Bargaining Team realizes that this process has been a long and sometimes frustrating one for all of you. As we have stated many times, we are going to bargain as long as it takes to get a contract that you have earned and deserve.
