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.

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.
