9Comments Local 9404 Grievance Strike
Sisters and Brothers,
Urgent News:
You may be hearing rumors that Local 9404 went on strike.
The rumors have been substantiated and the limited information is Local 9404 went out on a GRIEVANCE STRIKE to resolve some grievances/issues in their Local.
At this time Local 9416 is not involved in this action by Local 9404.
With the expiration of the contract, we currently do not have any arbitration rights for grievances that may arise while we are working without a contract and a grievance strike is protected activity under Federal law.
We will provide additional information when we receive it.
In Unity

AT&T Workers Have Built a Strong Company for Tough Times
AT&T, the 7th largest company in the world, is in a strong position to weather the current economic storms because of its bedrock strength: 180,000 union members.
But the union workers who built the company’s powerfully integrated wireless, fiber optic, and copper networks now face contract negotiations in which wages and benefits negotiated over decades are threatened.
The future of the company depends on the workers who build and support the networks. Especially in this period of crisis for working families and the nation, we cannot retreat from a commitment to a growing economy and stable communities. We must move forward by rewarding the people behind AT&T’s success—success that resulted in $12.9 billion in profit in 2008.
This is no time for cutting our standard of living; it is time for expansion and rewarding workers. Why?
● The company is in a strong position relative to competitors—and workers put it there.
● Analysts are optimistic about the future of the company—and workers’ futures should be positive as well.
● AT&T’s telecom networks are interdependent—with wireline and wireless workers equally important to the company’s success.
● Prosperity in the 21st century depends on unlocking the power of telecommunications—and workers hold the key.
●A fair contract is critical for retention and productivity.
