3/3/09 CWA, AT&T Mobility Reach Tentative Agreement

Washington, DC -- The Communications Workers of America has reached a tentative agreement covering more than 20,000 AT&T Mobility workers that provides real gains for workers, including improvements in the retail stores compensation plan and the establishment of a new career path for customer service representatives.

The CWA bargaining committee was determined to make inroads in these critical areas and succeeded, resulting in a tentative agreement that provides good economic gains for Mobility workers and addresses workers’ priority issues, CWA said.

The proposed settlement provides for a compounded wage increase of 8.8 percent over the four-year contract term, along with a $500 bonus. More than 11,000 retail sales consultants now will earn a minimum monthly commission of $1,000 if sales goals are met. In addition, some 500 consumer care workers will receive job upgrades and additional pay increases, as will 50-70 wireless technicians. Other important improvements addressed monitoring and quota relief.

CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill said the bargaining team worked long and hard hours, “displaying both patience and toughness” to get a good agreement that addresses Mobility workers’ critical issues.

Mobilization by Mobility workers throughout the “Orange” territory – Districts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 and 13 – made a tremendous difference as did support from CWA Mobility members in the Southeast and Southwest covered by separate contracts and CWA members at the “core” AT&T company. Bargaining covering 125,000 CWA-represented workers at AT&T got underway Feb. 24. Mobility workers have been working without a contract since Feb. 9.

Contract explanation materials will be made available to members in advance of the membership ratification vote. CWA represents another 22,000 workers at AT&T Mobility covered by separate contracts.



02/22/09 NettWorth Financial Group Awards Scholarships to Union Members and Relatives

In case you have not heard, NettWorth is not just about helping you reach your financial goals.  Every year, we have the honor of awarding scholarships to individuals throughout the country through our Home Office in Atlanta.  We would love to see a student from the greater Seattle/Tacoma area win one this year – but you have to apply first!  The scholarships are offered to the members and/or dependents of CWA, or a retiree who was a union member at retirement.  They are limited to graduating high school seniors and full-time college students.  If you have someone in the family who fits these criteria, and you would like to apply for a scholarship, it couldn’t be simpler.  Just call our Home Office in Atlanta, toll free at 1-888-224-5021 and an application will be sent to you.

Applications must be submitted by May 31st, 2009 with winners selected by July 1, 2009.  All winners will be contacted by phone and mailed their check.  Your Union President will also be advised of any winners in your Local and arrangements will be made to present certificates to any winners at a future Local meeting.

We are very proud to provide this opportunity to our CWA Union members.  It’s just another way we support our Union community and we are happy to do it.  We hope you will take advantage of this program.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our local office at 866-893-1119.

-- Karen Rutledge
