CWA District 9/AT&T West Bargaining Bulletin #69 Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Bargaining has once again slowed to an agonizing pace. Inasmuch as the company does not appear ready to make any substantive movement on key issues, the decision has been made to return home for the weekend. We have been available continuously for over 130 days and have informed the company that we are prepared to resume bargaining next week if they are ready to bargain seriously.

The company needs motivation! Keep up the good quality, gold plated, work to rule.

The committee thanks all of the members and retirees that attended the rally in Sacramento today!

STRIKE STANDBY DAY 88!

IN UNITY,

Art Gonzalez
