The Union Bargaining Committee continues to meet with the Company. Most of our time has been spent in subcommittee meetings trying to address specific issues. Movement has been very slow, and we continue to let the company know what issues are most important to you.
As you should know by now, the Union has released the results of the strike vote. You voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. The vote was 95% in favor of authorizing the strike, but more importantly you voted in record numbers. This was the highest participation we have ever had in a strike vote, which sends a clear message to the company that we are ready to do whatever is necessary to get a fair contract. Your bargaining team thanks you for your support and the loud message you sent to AT&T! We have signed a two-week extension and will continue to fight as long as it takes. The new contract expiration date is Friday, April 3rd.
Stay mobilized! Stay angry!
In Solidarity,

President, CWA Local 1120We must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights.
Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone…Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote.”Martin Luther King
