AT&T Mobility Bargaining Report # 13

Mobility Bargaining

Report # 13

One Day Longer, One Day Stronger! That slogan was created by working class union members that refused to accept crumbs from the company that was offering them!

Well tonight AT&T executives wanted your bargaining team to sell you out for crumbs. But they refused! AT&T is a billion-dollar corporation that brought in record-breaking profits during the pandemic, while we remained at work, risking our health and our families, while providing top-notch customer service to the public. 

How fast some forget our commitment to this company, especially during trying times!

We simply ask for respect and acknowledgment from AT&T Corporate Executives for the sacrifices we’ve made.  It’s only fair that they share the Company’s profits with the hardworking employees who have contributed to their success.

Our contract expired tonight because the Company said No! AT&T said no to wage increases that keep up with inflation! Tonight AT&T said no to protecting our work that is currently outsourced to authorized dealers who take advantage of non-union workers. Tonight we invite those workers at Prime Communication Stores, our Sr. Associate In Home Sales Expert and Sr. Associate Integrated Sales Support to join us, and organize with us for better working conditions and pay. 

Tonight AT&T said No to a fair agreement for you and our families! 

And our bargaining team responded by saying, “We want more in 2024! We deserve more in 2024! We will fight for MORE in 2024!” And as your Vice President, I’m sticking with my bargaining team! I’m willing to fight for more in 2024, with you! How about you?

As they continue to fight on your behalf at the bargaining table, we’ve made the strategic decision to continue bargaining with the Company past the expiration of midnight tonight.  Both parties have mutually agreed to an extension on the contract until February 26th, in hopes of reaching an agreement.

We need you to join our mobilization team and get involved!

In Solidarity,
Derrick Osobase Sr., Vice President District 6
