CWA District 9/AT&T West Bargaining Bulletin #60 Wednesday, June 03, 2009

 This week, bargaining has continued in subcommittees. We continue to focus on the issues and problems that affect surplus and employee movement. While there have been some positive responses from the company, progress is still very slow and the 20,000 pound Healthcare elephant is still smack in the middle of the room.

Your continued effort to make sure all your work is done safely and with 100% quality, along with your participation in mobilization events, is greatly appreciated and is responsible for any movement at the bargaining table.

Thanks again to the more than 500 of you from virtually every local in District 9 who participated in the demonstrations in Carlsbad and Oakland last week. Check out the videos at www.cwa9511.org and www.cwa9415.org.

STRIKE STANDBY DAY 60!

IN UNITY,
