***UPDATE***
Good morning all!
Bargaining update as of 12:30 am, April 7:
It’s official!
The AT&T West CORE contract has now expired!
We will continue working without a contract until further notice. Report to work as you normally would today (Sunday) if scheduled, or Monday if you are off today. We have been notified that, at this hour, our bargaining team is still meeting at the table with the company. Rest assured, our CORE bargaining team is doing its best to close the gap in order to reach a “ratifiable” agreement that IMPROVES the lives and working conditions for all of our D9 CORE membership!
What does it mean to work without a Contract?
Members will continue to earn a paycheck
All benefits are in effect.
The Grievance procedure is still in effect; however, arbitration rights are not!
An electronic strike vote for CORE is planned for this upcoming week. You must make sure the local has your up to date contact info which includes:
Full name
Home address
Personal cell number
Personal email address
These are MUST haves in order for you to vote. Reach out to the local email at
Info@cwa9003.org to provide this info!
On the Directv side of the house, there has been positive news! The parties are close to reaching a tentative agreement! There has been an extension agreed to by CWA D9 and AT&T until April 9th! That encouraging news applies to our AT&T West “DTV” (DirecTV) contract ONLY. NOT to the AT&T West CORE agreement.
Remember safety and working to rule are our biggest priorities.
UNITED NOT DIVIDED!
In Unity,
Local 9003
