CWA District 9 Local President’s Meeting in Sacramento  

Yesterday, May 12, CWA District 9 Vice President Tom Runnion held a meeting with all of the AT$T Local Presidents, Staff and the Union Bargaining Committee.  The Bargaining Committee gave a detailed report on the status of negotiations and AT$T’s retrogressive demands.  Vice President Runnion spoke to the group regarding next steps and the need for mobilization and solidarity.  He also gave a report on DIRECTV negotiations where logistics are still being worked out.  More to follow…

 The mobilization team gave a report on current events within the district along with future plans for mobilization.  Each of our twenty-two local presidents provided feedback to Vice President Runnion on their membership with respect to bargaining.  The overall feedback is: 

 The Bargaining Committee was notified that a long-time member of Local 9003 died while on the job today.  Our sympathy goes out to his family, friends and coworkers.

Remember that you are fighting more than your own fight.  You are fighting for the entire working class and you must stand together. ~ William Dudley “Big Bill” Haywood
