This strike authorization vote lets AT&T know that the bargaining team has the full support of our members as we work toward a new contract that protects our healthcare, improves wages, and keeps family-supporting, union jobs in the region.”“A strike vote is a routine, not unexpected step in negotiations of this sort and is often a part of the process. We’re continuing to bargain with the union, and we’re committed to reaching a fair agreement that will allow us to continue to provide solid union-represented jobs with competitive wages and benefits. We’re confident an agreement will be reached,” said AT&T spokesperson Jim Kimberly in a statement emailed to FierceWireless.CWA in its press release reiterated opposition to certain AT&T decisions since the operator was targeted by activist investor Elliot Management last year. Elliot bought a $3.2 billion stake in the carrier in September and blasted AT&T for what it considered poor execution on strategic opportunities and business management.CWA issued a press release about the job cuts in late January, and in a statement to FierceTelecom at the time AT&T said, “Like any business, we must align our workforce with the needs of our customers and the business. To the extent possible, we manage these staff adjustments through retirements and voluntary departures, and we help affected employees find other positions within the company. For those who can’t, we offer them severance pay and outplacement services.” -- ???????? | |||
