Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

It’s over!

We have a Tentative Agreement for BST, Utility Ops, and Billing. 9/15/24 3:20PM

Details are still coming as I’m on a call with District 3. The plan is for employees to return to work starting tomorrow. For those that work Midnight shifts and need extra time, you will be able to return tomorrow at midnight if need be instead of midnight tonight. Everyone one else will be expected to report tomorrow at your regular times. MRF Payments will still be paid this week.

Another email should come out closer to 4pm with some Highlights of the TA.

I’m putting together a 5pm zoom meeting and will send links to those that have registered for previous meetings. This meeting will be to mainly answer questions about returning to work as I do not have all the details to cover the TA.

Ed Barlow, President

What is a CP

Contingency planning. Managers were given CP assignments to work during strike.

Glad to hear good people get to go back to work and earn for their families, and glad good people get to go home to their families and back to their regular lives.

No, the CPs were actually clearing the loads surprisingly.

Not too surprised. Lot of normal load was pushed out into the future

“No, the CPs were actually clearing the loads surprisingly. I think the techs are losing OT for sure, assuming the amount of work will suffice for the numbers given the new regiments that will be enacted after TA”

Agree, there was nothing in the CO Dashboard as of Saturday evening. Us CP’s managed everything in our territory. Maybe they can use the extra time to do some long overdue cleaning.

FROM CWA D9 FACEBOOK:

The new contract in the Southeast covers 17,000 workers technicians, customer service representatives and others who install, maintain and support AT&T’s residential and business wireline telecommunications network in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Wages and health care costs were key issues at the bargaining table, and the five-year agreement includes across the board wage increases of 19.33%, with additional 3% increases for Wire Technicians and Utility Operations. The health care agreement holds health care premiums steady in the first year and lowers them in the second and third years, with modest monthly increases in the final two years.

"CPs will be returning to their respective units. Are their jobs at stake now, considering that business went on as usual without them?"

CP’s deserve to be rewarded with bonuses and awards for their 3-4 weeks of sacrifice, not to punished with a layoff, you low IQ ediot.

Did the strike keep the jobs of the represented Office Assistants that were just notified they are being laid off Dec 31?

30% over 5

BS! Union was only asking for 21%. Doubt the company suddenly got super generous.

free healthcare

That would be super surprising and would make bargaining in D9 and every other district in the company nearly impossible to negotiate going forward.
