CWAers Keep the Focus on AT&T’s Greed During March Madness

For the second week in a row, AT&T Orange Mobility members from CWA Locals 9421, 9423, 7901, 1122, and 4202 handed out informational flyers to attendees of AT&T-sponsored March Madness tournament games in Sacramento, Calif.; San Diego, Calif.; Portland, Ore.; Buffalo, N.Y.; and Chicago, Ill., respectively. The flyers call out AT&T for their corporate greed, spending millions of dollars to have their company logo featured all over March Madness promotional materials, yet refusing wage proposals at the bargaining table that reflect the real cost of living.

CWA and AT&T agreed to a contract extension after 95 percent of voting Orange Mobility members voted overwhelmingly to give CWA President Claude Cummings the authority to call a strike, if necessary. The contract extension expires on April 3.
