    AT&T Mobility and DirecTV (Orange)

    Just shy of a thousand AT&T Mobility workers joined a town hall call
    last Wednesday for an update on contract negotiations and strategies
    for strengthening their power at the bargaining table. The call was
    also an opportunity for newer members to learn how we have mobilized
    to bargain strong contracts at AT&T Mobility, such as waging an
    historic strike in 2017.

    CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor, who coordinates
    bargaining for the AT&T Mobility Orange contract, kicked off the call
    saying, "We don't win our great contracts with just the bargaining
    committee, we win when we have every member mobilizing and
    participating in every mobilization activity. We have tremendous
    support within CWA and from the public. But we need to energize all of
    our Mobility workers and send a clear message to AT&T that we want a
    fair contract now. AT&T has to know that their employees are ready to
    stand up and fight back. We did this in 2017 ... I need all of you to
    be ready to send the same message to AT&T in 2022."

    Today is the fifth anniversary of the historic strike at AT&T Mobility
    when 40,000 CWA members walked off the job for a three-day strike in
    protest of the company's failure to invest in good jobs. As members
    mark the anniversary of this strike and the workers' victory that
    followed, they continue to mobilize to strengthen their power at the
    bargaining table and secure the new Orange AT&T Mobility contract they
    deserve.

    CWA members at Frontier Communications in California are ramping up
    their mobilization efforts to build their strength at the bargaining
    table as they continue to negotiate a fair contract with the
    company. Last month, as part of CWA’s nationwide campaign to expose
    Frontier Communications’ dangerous use of subcontractors, members from
    CWA Locals 9575, 9003, 9400, and 9588 participated in the latest "Stop
    Frontier Subcontracting" training held at the CWA District 9 office in
    Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
