This PDF file contains a "Dear Member:" cover letter from the CWA/AT$T national bargaining team who unanimously recommends ratification of the enclosed CWA/IBEW/AT$T Contract Extension Bargaining Report 2003. I have no recommendation because, for the first time in my 36 years as an active CWA member/elected officer, the elected national bargaining team WILL NOT conduct an explanation of details meeting for local presidents and/or officers! Please contact any of the elected members of the national bargaining team if you have ANY questions about details of the contract extension or "improvements to job security" for the surviving 22,000 CWA/AT$T members! You may get their phone numbers by calling 202-434-1296. If not, ask for Vice President Ralph Maly.
