CWA 9003

On this Veterans Day Weekend, we salute our CWA brothers and sisters who served their country in the U.S. Armed Forces by placing their names on our CWA 9003 Vets Honor Roll. 

This is an on-going project our Civil Rights & Equity Committee.  The Committee assists the Union in assuring that members are not discriminated against on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, sex, age, handicap, marital status, sexual orientation or veteran status. Advocates fair and equitable representation for all members, promotes Civil Rights in the union so that all cultures have a voice and feel welcome and respected.

If we’ve missed your name, please let us know.  We would like to include you on next year’s Honor Roll as well as passing on information specifically for vets that you may find useful throughout the year.

Enjoy your holiday weekend and thanks again for your service to our country!

Bargaining between CWA and AT&T-West is scheduled to begin in February, 2012.  Our contract expires on April 7, 2012 and now is the time to focus on what changes we may want to see in the contract as well as what our priorities at the bargaining table should be.

 Our CWA bargaining committee, which includes our own CWA 9003 Executive Vice President Marisa Remski, has put together an AT&T Bargaining Survey to help set our bargaining goals and priorities.  If you are employed by AT&T-West (not Mobility) please take the time to print out a survey and return it to your shop steward right away.  You may also email it back to us at info@cwa9003.org or fax it to (818) 503-9555.  Please do not use company email or fax machines for union business.  Surveys will also be distributed in work locations.

 The deadline for returning your survey is Friday, November 25, 2011.

Local surveys will be tallied and the results shared with the bargaining committee.  In turn, the committee will tally all results submitted from Locals representing AT&T-West members in California and Nevada.  Local officers will then meet in December to review the results and determine our top bargaining items.

 Please take the time to share your opinions with our bargaining team.  Your guidance is critically important to ensure our committee knows what’s most important to our members.
