AT&T Mobility Workers Mobilize for Start of Bargaining

 

Bargaining begins today, January 25, 2009,  in Richmond, Va., for a new contract covering 20,000 CWA members at AT&T Mobility. The "Orange Contract" covers workers in Districts 1, 2, 4, 9 and 13.

Mobility workers already are mobilizing and are wearing red today to show their support for the CWA bargaining team. Union members representing call centers, administrative, technical and retail sales employees make up the bargaining team, along with CWA representatives from each district.

Bargaining goals were developed following a nationwide survey of Mobility members and wages, benefit plans, work schedules, time off and job security.
