Union COR
Glad to see this District getting something out of the Union! On the mobility we have “ZERO” communications! None of them know the wireless side to help us!
Union Demands vs reality
Reading the SE bargaining report seems more like a Xmas wish list. Out of curiosity… is there a reason why union members ‘deserve’ all those increases? For instance , health care costs have gone up for everyone. Why should yours not only be lowered... — read more
RTO during Strike?
Has anyone had a discussion with their leadership regarding telecommuting while the strike is happening?
We're everybody's last choice
Every new hire is mediocre at best and awful at worst. I guess we've reached a point where nobody good wants to work here.

Manager here. Don’t. Back. Down.
As a member of management who is part of contingency exercises, I am urging you to prolong this strike as long as possible. Short two and three day labor stoppages over a weekend are nothing but minor nuisances. Make the company pay. Fight for your... — read more

AT&T has the worst wireless network
AT&T need to fix their cellular network. AT&T wireless signal is horrible. Data speeds on the network are laughable. Users would get better speed using a dial up modem. AT&T need to fire the executive team and board members. The company can then... — read more

Why are you still there (AT&T)?
Fear of change is a powerful dr-g.
Well, a little strike sure has you festive.
Look at them, wound up over the workforce they say is not not needed. We hear their cries and we remain properly unconcerned. Go to your CP assignment and quit complaining. You got this!

Any truth to this??? Region Wide???
Any truth to the rumors about massive layoffs coming this month?
I’m hearing more and more about it. Can’t say that I don’t expect major layoffs to happen any time soon, but it would be good to have heads-up. Since I personally don’t see any future for myself in T (nor any spectacular future for T), I hope I’ll... — read more

What are some ways leaders have tried to justify RTO to you?
Let’s hear the best “reasons”
Cancel RTO and Change Leadership to restore morale and culture
These are the only two things that need to happen to right the ship. Nobody is buying into any “culture” they are trying to push. I don’t think one person can even tell you what it’s supposed to be. I understand RTO is a layoff hoax, but if this... — read more
