Members,

Please check your email from September 9th. Two emails would have been sent. The second email, sent around 7pm, was from CWA Local 6132 with the subject 2025 AT&T Southwest Bargaining Survey and Proposal Links. Approximately a third of those emails that went out have not been opened. We are still missing several emails from our members and were not able to send those emails out. If you or anyone you know has not received this email on September 9th, please contact the Union Hall! Bargaining Surveys and Proposals must be received by October 25th!

CWA members in District 3 (AT&T Southeast), approximately 17,000 employees, have been on strike since they walked off the job on August 16th. As of this posting, they have been out of work for 27 days, surpassing the 22 day strike in 1983. If you want to assist our brothers and sisters and support their efforts, please click on the link below. You will be redirected to a CWA site with more information and links along with instructions when posting anything to social media.

How You Can Support CWA Members who are on Strike Against AT&T

Please read the following information from a letter sent by CWA District 6 on Friday, September 6th. This includes links and a QR code (to print and share) for Bargaining Surveys and Proposals. All submissions must be received by Friday, October 25th, 2024. We will be sending this same information through email to those of you who have good email addresses on file.

1. The bargaining survey form should be completed by every
member of your Local that is in the AT&T SW bargaining unit.
You can access the form either through the link or the attached
QR code. Feel free to share either or both via your website,
personal emails from the Local to members, and any paper fliers
pushed out to members:

CWA/AT&T Bargaining Survey Form
QR Code – CWA/AT&T Bargaining Survey

Additionally, the bargaining survey will require members to provide their up
to date home address, contact phone number, and contact email address.
This information is very important and should be cross referenced to verify
Union membership and update Aptify for future Mobilization.

2. The bargaining request form should be completed by members
requesting to make changes or add new language to the
contract being bargained. There should be a new form submitted
for each request being requested:

CWA/AT&T Southwest Bargaining Proposal Request Form
QR Code – CWA/AT&T Southwest Bargaining Proposal Request Form

The bargaining request form will require members to add their name,
current job title, phone number, and personal email address to verify
membership. Union Membership should be verified through Aptify before
submitting.

*****All submissions should be received no later than Friday, October
25, 2024*****

As many of you know by now, CWA District 3 has been on strike for almost a week. The strike affects workers in nine states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. We don’t have any information other than the public statements made by Union leadership and AT&T’s response. District 3, also known as AT&T Southeast, went on strike and filed NLRB charges due to AT&T not bargaining in good faith. You can read more from a report posted online from CWA International. As of today, August 22, 2024, CWA and AT&T are still meeting with a mediator and District 3 posted an update this morning, which you can read here.

On THAT note, September 6th is when CWA District 6 will begin sending out bargaining proposals DIGITALLY for our members. Please make sure this Local has your current cell phone number and personal email address! We are still missing a few and are working diligently to ensure no one is missed during this important time in pre-bargaining!
