AT&T is dismantling the middle class one Job at a time.

AT&T’s Shameful Deception
AT&T is using the economic crisis to claim it needs more concessions from its workers represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and Communication Workers of America (CWA).  AT&T is making these demands while they continue to reap huge dividends despite the global recession.

• AT&T’s net income in 2008 rose 7.7 % to $12.9 billion.
• Already in the first quarter of 2009, their net income was $3.1 billion.
• AT&T gave its top executives over $33 million in compensation and perks.

Despite their solid financial position, AT&T is demanding that IBEW and CWA members and retirees hold the line on wages and agree to bear huge increases in their health care costs, and cuts in their pensions.

It’s a shameful ploy and, if allowed to stand, will be another blow to the working people of America’s middle class.  Enough is enough.  The middle class has been getting destroyed one piece at a time.  It’s time to fight back and save it one piece at a time.

IBEW members at AT&T are among the most productive in America.  AT&T reaped billions in profits to show for it.  IBEW members take great pride in the quality of their work.  These workers value each and every customer.  Nevertheless, AT&T is treating its workers like replaceable parts.  Not like partners in the company’s success, whose labors created their rising profits, even amidst the nation’s economic woes.

TAKE ACTION!

If you work for a living and have had enough of corporate greed, we urge you to send this letter to your elected officials and let them know AT&T’s unfair demands on IBEW and CWA members are undermining America’s middle class.

Tell them, “Enough is enough” you’re fed up with AT&T’s corporate greed and the damage it’s doing.  Urge your elected officials to demand that AT&T bargain a fair contract. 

If you’re an AT&T customer, we especially hope you’ll give them a piece of your mind.
AT&T’s workers are dedicated to giving their customers the best service possible. They are being pushed around by a faceless corporation that cares only about the bottom line and their corporate executives’ outrageous compensation plans.

It’s time to draw a line in the sand.  It’s time to stop greedy corporations like AT&T from dismantling America’s middle class, one worker at a time.
