CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
February 20, 2026 – Bargaining Report #11
The Orange Bargaining Committee and AT&T have been meeting continuously during this past week’s extension, yet we have not been able to reach a deal. Both parties have agreed to a two-week contract extension to continue bargaining. There are many important items which you have told us must be addressed that AT&T continues to ignore. The contract remains in place until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, Friday, March 6th.
Your bargaining team remains committed to addressing those issues that you have deemed a priority. Look for mobilization updates from your Local and stay engaged and informed!
Stay mobilized!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
February 18, 2026 – Bargaining Report #10
The Orange Bargaining Committee and AT&T continue bargaining under the contract extension. Unfortunately, the Company thinks that raises that barely outpace inflation are good enough for you. They have offered no significant improvements in working conditions, scheduling, commissions or a host of other issues. The Company’s latest bargaining report touts enhancements to work-life balance, but this is just not true.While your Bargaining Committee continues to make proposals for better work-life balance, the Company continues to reject those proposals and has offered no relief.In many sessions, most of our proposals go completely unanswered and ignored. The company is still proposing a benefits package that has aspects that many of our members could not afford.
AT&T is posting bargaining reports that paint a very rosy picture of their proposals. Don’t believe the lies, they are refusing to address many of the issues you demanded in your surveys. As we have said since bargaining started, we will fight as long as it takes to get a fair and equitable contract from this greedy, billion-dollar company. It is more important than ever to be engaged. Stay in touch with your local mobilizers and continue fighting.
Stay mobilized! Stay angry!

CWA AT&T Orange Mobility Update
CWA members covered by the AT&T Orange Mobility Contract will see it expire February 13 if another contract is not in place. As of February 6, the bargaining committee reported that negotiations are ongoing. The company has rejected some of our most critical proposals, and the committee is still waiting for several information requests to be filled.
Critical issues include those related to scheduling, FirstNet, commissions, and quality of life needs.
In a statement, the committee wrote, “The contract expiration date is rapidly approaching, so we hope AT&T gets serious about doing the right thing by their employees. The company knows you are mobilized and standing behind us; keep it up!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
February 6, 2026 – Bargaining Report #8
The Union bargaining committee continued talks with AT&T over the last several days. AT&T continues to make proposals that do not address the needs of our members. The Company also continues to reject the proposals that are most important. The bargaining committee is still waiting on several information requests to be filled as well.
We are working on issues related to scheduling, First Net, commissions and quality of life issues. The company has yet to show any interest in any real improvements. We will continue to fight for the changes that you demanded in the bargaining surveys.
The contract expiration date is rapidly approaching, so we hope AT&T gets serious about doing the right thing by their employees. The company knows you are mobilized and standing behind us, keep it up!
Stay mobilized and stay angry!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 30, 2026 – Bargaining Report #7
As bargaining continues, it is clear that AT&T does not value your work. The company continues to deny Union proposals intended to increase compensation and help their employees keep up with rising costs. In addition to rejecting our proposals, the company continues to try to shift the cost of medical benefits to you.
The Union is also fighting for the company to take greater steps to provide security for their employees. As we see in Minneapolis, the world can be a dangerous place right now and we expect the company to have a plan to keep you safe. While the company does have some safety procedures in place, we are fighting to make sure it’s clear and comprehensive.
Your bargaining team will continue negotiating as long as it takes to get a fair and equitable contract for you! Please stay in touch with your local mobilizers and stay in the fight with us.
Stay mobilized and stay angry!

CWA / ATTM Orange CBA - Bargaining Report #6
CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 27, 2026 – Bargaining Report #6
AT&T, through their bargaining reports, has chosen to bargain directly with you, the public and the press. What AT&T has failed to mention is that nearly every proposal they have passed is retrogressive. The company passed a Parental Leave proposal that offers you less than 20% of the leave that they offer their managers. Their proposal to “streamline” network titles was for a title merger without any additional benefit to either title. The company, on two different occasions, have proposed benefits packages that dramatically shift the cost to you. Keep in mind this is a company that makes billions of dollars a year and pays their top executives millions of dollars, but they want you to pay more for medical coverage.
Your bargaining team is surprised and angered that the company wants to promote their proposals that are meant to take away from you. AT&T is lying to you. If you are not angry, you are not paying attention.

CWA / ATTM Orange CBA - Bargaining Report #5
CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 23, 2026 - Bargaining Report #5
The Union Bargaining Committee met with AT&T over the last several days. While bargaining is going slowly, we are compiling a lot of information for scheduling, work deployment, time off and other concerns across all titles. The Union has gone over all of the surveys and spoken to our members in each area, so we know what issues are most important to you. As our information requests are filled by the company, we are developing proposals to strengthen our contracts and fix these issues.
AT&T’s first proposal on benefits was riddled with ways to shift more costs to you. The Company must understand that a benefits package that is too expensive to use is no benefit at all. The Union will demand a fair benefits package that keeps our members and their families safe and healthy.
As bargaining continues, we need you to keep up the fight!!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 21, 2026 – Bargaining Report #4
Bargaining with AT&T continued over the last couple of days. Your bargaining committee met with the Company and discussed many issues across several titles. Scheduling for call centers, retail, work from home and IHX issues were discussed at length. We expressed the importance of fair scheduling so people can plan their lives and spend time with their families. We also discussed the diminished headcount at the retail locations and the stress it creates.
The bargaining committee also spent a lot of time discussing First Net deployment for the wireless technicians. The bargaining team expressed the need for training, equipment and fair dispatching.
The Union has filed numerous information requests that the company is still working on fulfilling. We will continue to press them for all necessary information so we can make the most effective proposals possible.
Once again, we appreciate your support!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 16, 2026 – Bargaining Report #3
The Union and Company met today to continue bargaining. The Union bargaining team made it clear that we were not going to accept their cost shifting plans and proposals. The Company seems to believe that shifting medical costs to you is a good way to increase profits and line their pockets. The Union also spent a long time outlining the respect and dignity you deserve on the job. AT&T seems to think lowering compensation, setting unrealistic goals and ruling with intimidation is a better strategy than treating their employees with respect. The Union is here to tell them different. The committees also had conversations around parental leave, weather emergencies and working relations. All these issues are important and will be dealt with during bargaining.
At this rate, bargaining is going to take a long time, and we are here to fight as long as it takes. Please stay in touch with your Local mobilizers and stay in the fight with us. We need AT&T to know you have our backs at the table!
Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Dr. King is not just the most important Civil Rights leader of our time; Dr. King was also instrumental in fighting for workers rights. Every Union member owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. King, and we remind you on Monday, and every day, to remember and honor his legacy.
One day longer, One day stronger!

CWA / AT&T 2026 “Orange” Contract Bargaining
January 14, 2026 – Bargaining Report #2
The Union bargaining team met with AT&T again today. The Union expressed serious concerns about benefits, scheduling, training, dispatching and monitoring, among other issues. Your bargaining team has and will continue filing information requests to better address these issues. We know that all the different titles in the Orange contract have issues specific to their group and there are bigger issues that affect all titles. We will fight for each group and address all issues. We must remain united in this fight.
The company has already shown an interest in shifting more costs to their employees while lining the pockets of their executives. AT&T has added 18 million wireless customers over the last 5 years, and given their top executives enormous pay increases, it makes it all the more infuriating when they try to shift costs to you. You make this company successful, and you should share in that success. We are here to fight for you.
Stay Mobilized and keep up the fight!!

January 12, 2026 – Bargaining Report #1
The Orange Contract Bargaining Committee met with AT&T to kick off bargaining a new agreement that will cover all members in the Orange Contract footprint. Every member of your bargaining committee gave a statement about the greed, mistreatment and overall substandard conditions workers face at AT&T mobility. The Union bargaining team is ready to fight as long as it takes to address every single issue.
In true AT&T fashion, the company’s bargaining team presented an opening statement filled with delusions of their generosity and exemplary treatment of their employees. We know that the company will give us numerous proposals filled with give backs and cost shifting to you, but we can assure you we will fight them at every turn.
Your bargaining team is here and ready to fight! We need an army of mobilized CWA members behind us ready to fight as well! When we fight, We WIN!
In Solidarity!

IN SEARCH OF JOB
The Free Press, Kerville, Texas
Joe Smith started his day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE), and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got into his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job...in AMERICA
Your Benefits Weren't A Gift
The advantages you enjoy as a union member - a guaranteed wage rate, protection against unfair treatment, paid vacations and holidays, health and wealth benefits and a pension plan were not gifts from management.
Your employer may try to give you the idea that your pay and benefits are the result of management generosity (a contradiction in terms). Don't be fooled.
CWA members have struggled long and hard to achieve what we have today. Sometimes they have been forced to strike - meaning weeks of hardship for themselves and their families - to gain the things you now enjoy.
YOUR EMPLOYER HAS NEVER AGREED TO ANYTHING OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF ITS HEART!
IT'S THE UNION, NOT YOUR EMPLOYER, who is responsible for what you have today. It's the union, with your support that will be responsible for all the gains you make in the future.
