Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Why? You ask. Simple, smoke and mirrors. The deal is done. Now it’s just a fancy dance. Strike or no strike. Does not matter. Take it or leave it. It’s a free world

It will be worth it to strike for a break and for a-holes like the company troll who posted a couple of post ago. Let him/her try to do our job while we strike, will be an eye opener for them, they will be running back to their desk job. Hate to break it to you but the public realizes what is happening with corporations and the elite, they didn’t turn on all the strikes in other industries the past couple of year.

Go away troll, since you are uninformed, let me educate you. Our vehicles are our offices, we don’t just turn a sc--wdriver, our titles are technician for a reason. Now go back to your WFH office, make your daily Costco run or whatever else you are doing on company time. You are seen going to do badge swipes at the CO’s and other offices then going back home but aren’t complying, it’s a failure to follow. You will be laid off soon so you won’t have to worry about things that aren’t your business.

Go ahead and strike . Guess who wins? The company wins. Millions of $ of wages not paid. After a week the public views the employees as greedy b-ms. Especially since half the outside workers do close to nothing daily. Tell me that’s not true. Little work and lots of nap time. The public knows this.

“ Doesn't the update say the company passed a proposal on tuition aid? How is that the CWA focusing on it?”

Because that’s pretty much all that’s been talked about in a few updates besides saying the company wants to be regressive on everything. Tuition aid is important for the 1% that use it but most members are long past school days and want them focused on what’s important. Job security, wages, cost of living adjustments, much improved cash balance match, healthcare premiums, out of pocket and deductibles, just to name a few.

If you are in the union you'll need tuition assistance when they outsource the work. Count on it

What?? You sound like "G" money the wanna be IHX clown that thinks he is going to make $700 a day working over the strip mall.

Outsourcing is a non bargained problem, not a Union issue. ..

This has to be the most ignorant post I've seen in many years.
I have some level of schadenfreude knowing there are stupid people as yourself that are somehow able to remain on the payroll, but will soon be culled. Long past time for that. AT&T will catch up and will tidy up with a vigor those that have tried to hide away for way to long. You had it good for way too long. It is going to end.. Sorry.

The Union doesn't have to start negotiating benefits that 1% of the membership uses. The bargainers are being played like always.

Company making time to see if they will be able to pull out of landlines. Then the claws will come out.

we will still be discussing bargaining this time next year.

"Why does CWA keeps focusing on tuition aid during these negotiations?"

Doesn't the update say the company passed a proposal on tuition aid? How is that the CWA focusing on it?

How long have you been in the Union? Surprised you haven't figured out your leadership is just as corrupt as any other. They don't care about you - they do just enough to make you think they are working hard and securing significant gains but in reality, you see small increases in benefits from one contract to the next.

Thank you for admitting that we see small increases in benefits from one contract to the next. The Union has historically tried to keep what we had.
I'll take a small increase every time.

Everything needs to be on the table.

Besides how else will we learn to code?

None of this this matters. When the workforce has had enough and strikes, the company will get its head sc--wed on right, and real quick. That is if history repeats itself, and it has, repeatedly.
Might take 3 days, might take 3 weeks. Yes the Union has lost much in 40 years, much to the delight of high stepping "Union Busters".
How much do you think the Union is going to concede this time with a completely demoralized management CP workforce?
Hel77, they might not even be employed by the time AT&T tells them to report to CP duty.

Stankey didn't think this one through, (weird, considering his brilliant mind) and I most certainly thank him for that.

randall the vandal needs to go take a long walk on a short pier.

I just want the old PacBell Kaiser Perm. Plan
Like we had be we got SBC’ed
That alone would be a monthly take home increase

Let’s see, a tale of two communications companies employees compensation packages, Comcast vs AT&T. Look up the pay and benefits for both then, tell me again that the Union doesn’t win by being united for common goals in bargaining, signing a contract with articles and rules related to pay, benefits, work rules, etc.. The union has raised all boats at AT&T. Look at your management peers in comparison at non-union communications (Comcast) then, tell me the Union doesn’t have an effect for everyone.

Take your drivel somewhere else company troll.

Tuition aide is helpful. Train for a new career for when you're laid off.

The non bargained are getting sc--wed because they have to RTO? Union employees are full 5 days in office all thru Covid and still are. Most never worked a single day from home.

You know who else has been sc--wed the last 2 years? Non bargained and below c-suite management, keeping with the theme, they have taken it in the shorts for all the failures.

Unreasonable and no business sense (productive loss) for a lot of RTO employees that have been virtual for many years, now have to commute to far away locations. Others are involved in relocation decisions to move across the country, aka..layoff and then just out-right firing without any options, selling business units or contacting and off-shoring jobs.

Bargaining Horizons or reimbursements makes no sense. The union rigged the AUTS upgrade system where only techs can take new techs jobs. The rest of the titles are sc--wed..

I have my sign, strike fund and shorts ready. Tick Tock, not long now. Early vacation this year, feel it.

Gotta love CEO’s and company, getting paid extremely well for their horrible results without consequences but want those below the c-suite to take the punishment. That’s what is happening, Robber Baron hypocrisy.

The union needs to use their leverage like all the other industries have over the last couple of years, enough already. It’s an election year even more pressure can come to bear with a work stoppage. Better listen Union leadership, it might be time to vote or petition your assets out if you don’t do better. Can you say, Teamsters?

Are you trolls trying to distract from the failed leadership with their extra large salaries and bonuses. Randall pulls a paltry $275k a month in retirement, plus a consulting fee, nothing like nepotism.

Most important is the termination package because we're all going to be laid off.

Because they have absolutely zero leverage with anything else that matters like wages, benefits and job security. All three will include significant give backs to the company, yet you’ll foolishly directed to enhanced rental car discounts, Costco membership discounts and only a slight increase in union dues. Mail it in… the union is done.

Fill out your paper and write down what really matters, no shorts!, spread the word and have your yard and peers in the same page, lastly start putting away money.

More layoffs to come for all until the shareholders are happy

The company wants to focus on regressive ideas every talk, all part of their continuing to reduce good paying US jobs, benefits and off-shoring them overseas so the elite can become more enriched. 28 million a year, isn’t what it used to be, Stankey needs more and Randall wants a bump in his 1 million dollar a year consulting fee, he can barely make it on the $275k monthly retirement.
