AT&T Mobility Workers Mobilize for Contract
Monday, February 11, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Area CWA locals
were stepping up
mobilization efforts as negotiations with AT&T Mobility went down to the
wire over the weekend. Strike authorization ballots were due back by the end of
last week “to send the message ‘We will stand up for what we think is
fair’ to
management,” said CWA 2222. After failing to reach a new tentative agreement
before contract expiration Saturday night, CWA and AT&T agreed to extend
the contract while bargaining continued.“Stay informed. Be prepared. Expect
the
best. Unity at Mobility. Mobilize!” added CWA District 2-13.
