Salvation Army Angel Trees Delivered

Posted on December 10, 2024 by CWA Local 6132

Since 1979, The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program has helped to fulfill the Christmas wishes and needs of children up to 12 years old throughout Central Texas. Low-income families apply to the program starting in September and provide The Salvation Army with a Christmas wish list for each child that includes new toys or games, along with clothing and shoe sizes. Donors then can “adopt” each of these Angels and fill an Angel Tree bag with gifts chosen for each child. Gifts are then distributed to parents a week before Christmas.

This year, President Tony Thornburg, Secretary Treasurer Audry Hawkes, Vice President Sonia Lopez, and Chief Steward Janell Zuberbier, volunteered their time to help the Salvation Army warehouse sort through some of those bags ensuring that parents of children in need, had presents to give their kids this Christmas. See some of the pictures we took on Saturday, December 7th!

AT&T Southwest Pre-Bargaining Update

Posted on November 20, 2024 by CWA Local 6132

From Billy Moffett – Assistant to the Vice President – on November 14, 2024

The CWA elected bargaining team for AT&T SW met in Dallas, TX prior to the CIF meeting for our first face to face prep session November 11-13.

The team met with CWA Research for a presentation on what to expect with AT&T’s healthcare proposal(s) based on what was presented in D3 & D9. This meeting provided a lot of valuable information for us to consider and use at our table on benefits. We plan on including the CWA appointed Benefit Coordinator for AT&T SW, Jason Peavler, in any benefits discussions when bargaining begins for his valuable input as well.

All together the team drafted over 50 proposals from members’ input in the time we were together this week with many more still in the works. We plan to meet weekly going forward prior to the Critical Items meeting in Dallas on January 8, 2025.

In closing, please continue to encourage all members to fill out the AT&T SW Bargaining Surveys as our Mobilization Team will be activated in early 2025.

Challenge and Remedy to the Recent Election for Vice President for CORE

Posted on October 22, 2024 by CWA Local 6132

After the election results from October 7th, a challenge to the election was made concerning a violation of campaign rules. The challenge was delivered in writing to the Chair of the Election Committee on October 7th. The Election Committee then conducted an investigation to the allegations made and determined that there was a violation of the rules. The remedy to this violation, as decided by the Election Committee, was to rerun the election for the office of Vice President for CORE.

We are in the process of choosing a date to count the new ballots and when decided, notifications will be mailed to our members’ addresses on file. A separate letter will be mailed that will include the ballots and instructions.
