CWA-AT&T Orange Mobility-Bargaining Report #23
May 27, 2022
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. It has been a long and hard process, and we know it’s been frustrating at times for you, but all the gains we are making at the bargaining table are due to your efforts. Keep up the fight a little longer and we will get what you deserve from this company. Let AT&T know that even though we are close, you will fight until the end. We continue to work under the terms and conditions of the previous contract, while either side can terminate this agreement with 72-hours notice, we do not foresee such events taking place.
Please keep all of the military members who have died, and their families, in your thoughts throughout this Memorial Day Weekend. We wish you all a safe and healthy weekend, and we will update you again next week. Stay Mobilized and Stay United!
In Solidarity:

CWA-AT&T Orange Mobility-Bargaining Report #22
May 20, 2022
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 need all of you to keep up the fight and put pressure on AT&T. It’s been 5 years since so many of you had enough and walked out on the company in a historic strike at Mobility. The memory of that strike and continued mobilization throughout this bargaining process has sent a clear message to the Company. Without all of your efforts, we would have no leverage at the bargaining table.
The Union and Company have agreed to keep the terms of the existing contract in place while we continue to bargain. Either side has the right to end the agreement with a 72-hour notice. We are very close to a fair and equitable contract. Stay Mobilized, Stay Informed and Stay
United!
WE will prevail—ONE DAY LONGER, ONE DAY STRONGER!!

CWA-AT&T Orange Mobility-Bargaining Report #21
May 13, 2022
The Orange Bargaining Team continues to meet daily with the Company. 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. The Bargaining Team has spent extensive amounts of time on Call Center, Technician, Retail Sales, In Home Sales and Work from Home issues individually as well as focusing on safety, quality of life and economic issues that effect all groups collectively.
Once again, none of the progress we are making would be possible without the continued support and mobilization of the membership. Throughout this long and frustrating process every member that has engaged in mobilization has pushed us closer to a fair contract. Don’t let off the gas just yet, we still need your fight to get us to the finish line! Stay Mobilized and Stay United!

Bargaining Update
AT&T Mobility and DirecTV (Orange)
Just shy of a thousand AT&T Mobility workers joined a town hall call last Wednesday for an update on contract negotiations and strategies for strengthening their power at the bargaining table. The call was also an opportunity for newer members to learn how we have mobilized to bargain strong contracts at AT&T Mobility, such as waging an historic strike in 2017.
CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor, who coordinates bargaining for the AT&T Mobility Orange contract, kicked off the call saying, “We don't win our great contracts with just the bargaining committee, we win when we have every member mobilizing and participating in every mobilization activity. We have tremendous support within CWA and from the public. But we need to energize all of our Mobility workers and send a clear message to AT&T that we want a fair contract now. AT&T has to know that their employees are ready to stand up and fight back. We did this in 2017…I need all of you to be ready to send the same message to AT&T in 2022.”
CWA President Chris Shelton reiterated by saying, “Mobilize, mobilize, mobilize! And make sure that this company is listening, because whatever we do at the bargaining table doesn't count unless the company knows that the members are behind us.”
CWA District 2-13 Vice President Ed Mooney, CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton, CWA District 7 Vice President Susie McAllister, and CWA District 9 Vice President Frank Arce, who represent members covered by the Orange contract, also joined the town hall. During the call, participants asked clarifying questions and expressed their gratitude and support for the bargaining team.
Members covered by the AT&T Mobility and DirecTV Orange contracts continue to hold workplace actions for affordable healthcare, fair wages, and more. AT&T Mobility workers have also been participating in a March Madness action, leafleting at basketball games to inform the public about the contract fight and the differences between authorized retail and union-staffed stores.

AT&T Mobility and DirecTV (Orange)
The AT&T Mobility Orange bargaining team reached agreement on a second three-week extension to continue negotiations for a fair contract. While there has been some progress, AT&T has not met CWA’s reasonable demands on healthcare, scheduling, compensation, and more. Notably, the company continues to offer proposals that could lead to skyrocketing health care costs with a devastating economic impact for people who get sick and need benefits the most.
At DirecTV, bargaining continues under a 72-hour rolling contract extension as members at call centers in Eden Prairie, Minn.; Huntington, W.Va.; and Englewood, Colo., mobilize to show the company that they won’t back down.
AT&T Mobility and DirecTV workers are mobilizing to strengthen their power at the bargaining table and improve their working conditions. Over the last few weeks, members have participated in workplace actions, rallies, and online actions to demand fair contracts.
