CWA District 3 Local Presidents from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, representing CWA/AT$T bargaining unit members at the former Bell South, REJECTED the recently negotiated CWA District 3 AT$T Premise Technician MOA by a VOTE of 82 to 6! It was basically the same Premise Technician MOA already accepted by CWA VPs from Districts 1, 4, 6 and 9. CWA District 3 was the only District that had not negotiated the MOA because the AT$T acquisition of Bell South hadn't been completed. CWA District 3 Local Presidents voted NO to this MOA because of two-tier wages, no pensions, no after employment benefits and contracting out of the work for our new and future members. I congratulate Noah Savant, CWA District 3 VP, for running a truly democratic District and conducting a VOTE by Local Presidents. I applaud District 3 Local Presidents for keeping their "new" CWA/AT$T bargaining unit alive and for their unswerving faith in their "American Dream".
