"When secure information was handled and assigned to occupational employees of the bargaining unit, it was reviewed by full time employees only and never left the premises of at$t. Now it seems that the company has lost control of our vital information and I believe that the company is incapable of identifying who actually has access to these records at any given time. at$t should be held accountable for these actions and we should all be outraged that they put more importance on cheap labor while they ignore us and place us in jeopardy on a daily basis. They care little for employees and consumers as they greedily race to the bottom of the wage scale. I am still not sure if our information was stolen from here or abroad and at$t still has not given the Union a date when the theft occurred, but the company certainly has tried to deflect their responsibility by saying it was stolen from a contractor. Who hired the contractor?" Guest article by Roy Hegenbart, President CWA Local 3250, in PDF format.
