Memo From VP Robert Mahle
To: All IR Technicians working the East District
By now you have heard of the Company's
decision to change the work schedule hours.
Many Managers are saying that these changes
were approved by the Union. This is
INCORRECT!!! No one in the Union agreed to
these changes. We were simply told that the
changes were coming.
NO STRIKE DATE has been set. CWA Hotline at (713) 853-4930.

Mobilize
Good contracts aren't won solely at the bargaining table. They're won
by a united membership standing together.  Want a good contract?
Do your part and mobilize!

Bargaining is tough. Your bargaining team will sit across the table
from AT&T and will work hard to make your issues clear to the
company. But the bottom line is this: AT&T is a big, powerful
company that wants to give you as little as they can.

Decades of bargaining with AT&T have taught us that the only thing
that will move them is seeing that YOU will do whatever is necessary
to support your bargaining team and that all 180,000 Union members
at AT&T are united.

WEAR RED
CWA has a history of wearing RED as a show of support and
solidarity. We understand there are restrictions in what you can
wear to work but we need you to show management you support
your bargaining team.

Wear something RED every Thursday. A red ribbon, a scarf, a tie,
an armband, anything you come up with. The Company bargainers
are informed about what is going on in the worksites. Show them
you're behind your bargaining team!

PRESIDENTS CORNER
Hear todays podcast about

strike situation. I want to
encourage everyone to talk to
your Stewards and come to
our next General Membership
meeting.
CWA HAS NOT ACCEPTED AT&T'S FINAL OFFER. IT MUST BE AGREED ON BY ALL OF THE
