AT$T "Legacy T" Bargaining Report #45
Bargaining continued Wednesday afternoon in subcommittee, all day yesterday, and this morning as we continue to try to make progress on job security issues. With so much work being shifted from one Contract to another as AT&T tries to consolidate various operations - from sales and service, billing and collections, teleconference, administrative work, maintenance of the network, and the provisioning and maintenance of both consumer and business services - the bargaining team is working very hard to try both to preserve our jobs and to find us other opportunities if and when our jobs go away. This continues to be a main priority of our negotiations and, while progress is slowly being made, we need to make much more before we will be satisfied that we have a fair agreement.
